Baptism

Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body, the Church. It is a sacred and joyful moment in the life of both the individual and the parish community.

Whether you are interested in being baptized yourself or having your child baptized, we would be honored to be part of that journey. Except in extraordinary circumstances, Baptism takes place during a Sunday Eucharist service so that the congregation may welcome the newly baptized into the household of God.

Parents and sponsors (godparents) presenting children for Baptism make a commitment to nurture them in the Christian faith and life. A preparation session is required to explore both the meaning of Baptism and the responsibilities involved.

Please allow approximately one month to arrange a Baptism date.
