Baptism

Baptism is the first of the Seven Sacraments of our Church and is the gateway to the other Six Sacraments (i.e., Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders). Jesus taught us to make disciples by baptizing people. Through Baptism, we are set free from original sin, receive God’s grace to live a life of discipleship, and become a member of the Church, the Body of Christ.

Adults:

Adults interested in receiving the Sacrament of Baptism are invited to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process.
