Baptism

What does it mean to be Baptized in the Catholic Church?

Baptism is the first Sacrament of Christian Initiation. To baptize means to “plunge” or to “immerse” into the water. Baptism is birth into a new life in Christ. It frees us from original sin and incorporates us into his Body, the Church.

What are the requirements for having my child baptized?
To have your child Baptized, it is asked that you complete the Baptism Packet. To obtain a packet, you may come in to the parish office or you can print one out from here.
