Baptism

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons 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." Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213

Families have the option to have their child Baptized during a Sunday Liturgy with the Parish Community or at a Private Ceremony. For infants and small children, participation in one Baptism preperation class is required for parents and godparents. This class will clarify the roles of parents, godparents, and the meaning of the various signs and symbols used within the baptismal rite. Classes are held every other month at Infant Jesus. Call the parish office for information on upcoming classes. 409-755-1734.
