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." CCC 1213

Baptisms are celebrated every second and fourth Saturday of every month at 11:00 a.m.

• Godparent Registration Form.

• Child's Birth Certificate.

• Letter of permission from home parish if needed.

• Parents and godparents must attend a Baptism Preparation Class. The purpose of this class is to convey an understanding of baptism in the Church, to help parents and godparents recognize their responsibility and role in the development of their child’s faith, and to welcome young families into our parish family. 

Baptismal Preparation Class will be held (in English and Spanish) the last Thursday of every month, at 5:00pm. You must be registered a week before the class begins. These classes are also offered at other local churches. If the parents take the class at any parish other than this one, they must provide proof of attendance by either in a certificate of attendance or a letter from that church’s pastor. If the parents have taken Baptismal Preparation Classes within the past three years, this requirement is waived.
