Baptism of Infants (children under seven years of age)
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 children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission (c.f. CCC, 1213)
Note: If your child is over six years of age, please contact the office to make an appointment with Fr. Antony.

Baptism of Adults
Preparation for adult Baptism takes place within the RCIA process. Adults celebrate the three Sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. The journey is one of growing discipleship, determined by individual readiness and not the calendar. Everyone’s faith journey is unique and we strive to honor that. For more information or to begin the process, we would invite you to contact the Parish Office at 780.459.3694
