Baptism

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 enter these sacraments at any time in your life, but many enter these sacraments as children and youth. We truly believe that our sacraments are about community and family and we celebrate and prepare for our sacraments in families and in our community.

Baptism for Children (Ages Birth to 6 Years): 
Baptism is a community celebration of new life welcoming a child into the Christian community. Baptisms are celebrated on Sundays listed below, either during Mass or after the last Mass of the day as indicated on the schedule. Parents are asked to attend a baptism class if they have not done so in the past two years. Godparents may also attend. Instructions regarding the choice of Godparents and details of the celebration are included in the class. Call the parish office to register, 763.784.1329.
