God desires for each of us, from the newest newborn to the eldest person, to be His sons and daughters as He created us to be and baptism marks the beginning of a person’s participation in the sacramental life of the Church. It is a moment where a person, and parents of children to be baptized, promise to live in the Catholic faith and continue to give example by their own lives of faith.

Baptism is the first opportunity that we, as the Catholic community, have to receive and welcome the baptized and especially to welcome him or her as a beloved child of God.

Baptism is an initiation into the body of Christ: a community of believers who place Jesus and His Gospel at the center of their lives by living in communion with Him. Becoming part of this Body of Christ, the baptized is forever bound to the other members of His Body: united with them in prayer, in struggle, in suffering, in joy and in their search for greater union with God.

The baptismal process aims to help those who will be batpized prepare for the commitment they will undertake and parents of children prepare for their vocation as primary teachers of the faith. Supported by the involvement of the godparents (sponsors) and our Catholic community, the newly baptized and parents of children will continue to grow in their understanding of the faith and application of it in their own lives and homes.

If you are seeking baptism for your child or self, we are here to help. Contact us for more information.
