Baptism

Fall 2020 update

Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation are the sacraments that we first encounter upon entering the Church. The initial conversion to the message and life of Jesus Christ is the primary purpose of these sacraments. You can receive these sacraments of initiation at any time in your life, but many receive these sacraments as children and youth. 
 

Baptism for Children (Ages Birth to 6 Years) 
Baptism is a communal celebration of new life welcoming a child into the Christian community. The whole St. Tim's parish community celebrates with parents and godparents at this joyful milestone. 

Baptisms are not currently being celebrated in the context of weekend liturgy but only after Sunday 10:30 a.m. in-church, in-person Mass, due to Covid-19 adapations.

In order to be spiritually prepared for this significant moment, parents are required to attend a baptism class if they have not done so in the past. Baptism class is currently being offered virtually via Zoom. Instructions regarding the choice of godparents and details of the celebration are included in the class. Call the parish office to register.
