We are happy to support your family during this special time of preparation for the Baptism of your child. Sacraments are visible signs of God’s love and through them and by the actions of the Holy Spirit, Jesus fills us with his grace, heals and strengthens us. Baptism is the beginning of a faith journey and we congratulate you for choosing this beautiful gift for your child. As the child grows and matures, parents are the first and most important teachers of the faith, as you lead your child into a deeper relationship with Christ by your words and your example. As a parish, we are blessed and privileged to help you in this endeavor.
Steps to Baptize your child:
