Baptism is the first of the seven sacraments and the foundation of the entire Christian life. Through Baptism, we are freed from sin, become children of God, and are welcomed into the Body of Christ—the Church. It is through this sacrament that we are reborn by water and the Holy Spirit, beginning our lifelong journey of faith.

In our Catholic Community of Parishes, Baptism is a celebration of both faith and family. Parents and godparents commit to nurturing the child’s faith, helping them grow in love of God and neighbor. Whether you are preparing to have your child baptized or are seeking Baptism yourself, we rejoice with you and look forward to walking with you as you take this first step in living as a disciple of Christ.
