Sacrament of Baptism

and recent photos)

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission." (CCC 1213)

Baptism of Infants and young children: Baptisms are celebrated on selected weekends when the Scripture readings reflect the theme of water, Baptism or the Holy Spirit. To prepare for their child's baptism, registered members of the parish complete a baptism application and attend baptism preparation classes on selected Saturdays throughout the year.

Baptism of Older Children over 7 years old and Adults: Baptism may be arranged through our Catechumenate Program. Please contact the parish office, 660-582-3833.
