Baptism

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit 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 and in the word'" (Catholic Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1213).  

Please Fill out a Baptism registration form and turn it in to the Parish Office along with your other paper work at least one week prior to your desired baptism date.
