Baptism
Baptism, the gateway to the sacraments and necessary for salvation by actual reception or at least by desire, is validly conferred only by a washing of true water with the proper form of words. Through baptism men and women are freed from sin, are reborn as children of God, and, configured to Christ by an indelible character, are incorporated into the Church. (Can. 849)
Infant Baptism
Infants through age six
Congratulations on the upcoming baptism! This is a beautiful beginning to your child's faith journey. As your child grows, you, as parents, will be the primary and most influential teachers of their faith. Your words and example will guide them into a deeper relationship with Christ.
As a parish, we are truly blessed and privileged to support you in this important mission.
Baptisms are celebrated on the second Sunday at the Sacred Heart Campus and fourth Sunday at the St. Ann Campus each month at 1:00pm.
