Baptisms
Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the
other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are
incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission; "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in
the word."
Baptismal Preparation Classes are offered monthly for expectant and new parents. We highly recommend that you plan to come
during the pregnancy when things tend to be a little less hectic and thus have more time to prepare for the spiritual birth
of your child. Pre-registration is necessary.
