Baptism

- Sacraments

Babies and young children (under the age of seven) are baptized upon their parents’ request. It is expected that at least one of the parents is Roman Catholic and that there is a reasonable presumption that the ongoing faith practices of the family will provide the opportunity for the newly-baptized to grow in faith through attendance at weekly Eucharist, participation in faith formation and service in the community.

Baptisms are celebrated:
- at one of the parish Masses
- at the convenience of families and Church (note: Sundays are the preferred day for the Church)
One of the pastoral staff meets with families before the Baptism of their first-born, to review the theology of the sacrament, to anticipate the ritual of the sacrament and answer any questions about godparents, etc.

To schedule a Baptism please fill out the form below.

To prepare for the baptism of an older child (seven or older) or an adult, the formation process of RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation of Children) or RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is followed.
