Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Baptism washes away original sin and incorporates one into the body of Christ. It is received only once in one's lifetime; it is not a repeatable moment. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Parents must first make an appointment with a priest or deacon and present the original birth certificate.

English baptisms are usually on the second Saturday and fourth Sunday of each month at 2:00 p.m., and at Sunday Mass by arrangement. Instruction class is the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
