The birth of a new baby is an exciting time full of change and transition. As parents, you take on the responsibility of passing on your values and your faith to your child. Having your child baptized in the Catholic faith is only the first step in a lifelong spiritual journey with your child. We don’t become Christians all alone. To be Christian is to be part of the Church, it is to make up the Body of Christ all together. And it is the parents, the godfather and the godmother who are the first to welcome the newly baptized child into the Christian community, and to accompany them along their spiritual path.
The baptism process begins when the parents contact the parish and schedule an appointment to discuss their child’s baptism. Our baptismal team will engage you in conversations about the symbols and meaning of the sacrament, invite you to share your own memories and experiences, and walk through the ritual so everyone knows what to expect on the day of baptism.

Participation in a baptism preparation process is required for the parents and godparents. The focus of these sessions is understanding the call of baptism and the responsibility that the parents and godparents are undertaking to raise their child in the Catholic faith.
