Baptism in the Catholic Church is a sacred sacrament that removes original sin, imparts an indelible spiritual mark on the soul, and initiates the individual into the Body of Christ, the Church. It symbolizes dying to sin and rising to a new life with God, guided by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ instituted baptism, and through it we are called to live in holiness and follow Christ’s teachings.

All Non-Baptized infants and young children under 7 are encouraged to become Baptized Catholic. Parents/Guardians need to pre-register to attend a formation class prior to scheduling the Baptism.
