Baptism is the sacrament that gives our souls the new life of sanctifying grace by which we become children of God and heirs of heaven. This is the first sacrament that we may receive. Unless we are baptized, we are forbidden to receive any other sacraments. This sacrament was instituted by Christ at His own Baptism, and commanded at His Ascension. Acts 2:38
To have your infant baptized you must first meet with our parish priest to learn more about the Church's teaching on this sacrament and on the obligations parents have in raising their children to be faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. Contact our parish offices to make this appointment:
