Sacrament of Baptism

"Holy 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."

Requirements

Birth certificate of the child.

Godparents are required to be adults that have received the sacraments of baptism and confirmation.  If they are married they need to be married by the Catholic Church

A Baptism preparation class is required prior to the Baptism for parents and godparents.

Preparation for Baptisms can be done by calling the Parish Office at 860-583-1369.
