  • BAPTISM

    Baptism is the first Sacrament of Christian Initiation, bringing the baptized individual into the family of God by washing away Original Sin. Baptisms are usually celebrated on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. Parents are asked to attend a Baptismal Prep Class before scheduling the Baptism of their child.
