Sacramental Preparation / Infant Baptism
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
Baptism is the sacrament which bestows full membership in the Christian community and the Catholic Church. The waters of Baptism reflect the outpouring of the Spirit which cleanses us from all that keeps us from God and brings us into the new life of Christ and the community of the faithful. As we celebrate the sacrament of baptism, the Christian community comes together to embrace the newly baptized by committing themselves to supporting our newest members with love and by committing themselves to be faithful companions to the baptized throughout their lives.
Infant Baptism: At various times throughout the year, we celebrate with families the baptism of their infants into the believing community.
For Baptism of an infant or child under the age of 7:
