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.

All Baptisms are private and celebrated at our Mary Queen of Peace Church campus. We have two Baptisms each Sunday.
Please note that all Baptism Classes as well as the  Baptism Celebration are held  at Mary Queen of Peace Church,  200 Lawrence Rd., Salem NH 03079.

What do you need to do to schedule your child's Baptism
1.  If you are not registered in the parish, you can do so here.
2.  Once you are registered in the parish, you can register for baptism by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page. When you have filled out this form, you will be sent a packet, and Fr. Marc will contact you.
3.  Godparents will need to fill out a form and have it signed by the pastor of their home parish. This form can be found on the side bar of this page. Once these forms have been signed by their pastors, please send it to the parish or email it to pm@saintsmaryandjoseph.org
   
As soon as the Baptism class is completed and all paperwork is completed, you will be able to schedule your child's Baptism.

It is truly a joy to celebrate this occasion with your family! We look forward to welcoming your child into our parish community and the Universal Church!
