Baptism is the first step in a child’s (or adult’s) faith life, when they come to share in Christ’s death so that they might share in His resurrection. In Baptism, we celebrate the beginning of the person’s relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We believe that a person encounters the Lord and comes to know Him most deeply when he/she is part of a Catholic Christian community called a parish. Being “in relationship” with Christ cannot be separated from being “in relationship” with the other members of His Body, the Church.
Community Baptismal celebrations are held at 12:30 pm on the first Sunday of each month, except in the season of Lent, during which we have no baptisms. Please contact the Parish Office (893-8661) during business hours to make arrangements.
