The Sacrament of Baptism
“Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.” – Romans 6:3-4
Preparation for Baptism
- For Infants to 6 yrs of age: The sheer gratuitousness of salvation is particularly manifest in the baptism of children. In expressing a desire to have their child baptized, parents are accepting the responsibility of raising their child in the Catholic faith. Baptism Preparation Classes are available for the parents and God-parents.
- For Children aged 7 to 17: Unbaptized children above the age of 6 are prepared for Baptism through Faith Formation. Contact the Director of Religious Education for details.
- For Adults: Adults wishing to be baptized are prepared through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Sessions are held throughout the year.
