"The fruit of Baptism, or baptismal grace, is a rich reality that includes forgiveness of original sin and all personal sins, birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ and a temple of the Holy Spirit. By this very fact the person baptized is incorporated into the Church, the Body of Christ, and made a sharer in the priesthood of Christ." CCC1279
Baptism is celebrated approximately six times throughout the year after Sunday 11:00 a.m. Mass. Registration of parents in the parish is required or have written permission from the priest of the registered Catholic parish.
Call the parish office to receive an information packet and to register for required preparation for parents and godparents. A copy of the child's birth certificate or adoption papers must be included with the registration form. Parents who wish to have their children baptized should be practicing the faith they want to pass on to their child.
At least one godparent must also be active, confirmed and practicing their faith regularly.
At least one parent and one godparent must attend a baptismal seminar within three years of baby’s baptism. Please notify the office prior to the birth of your child.
