Baptism is the initiation of our faith into the sacramental life of the church. It is the doorway through which we enter to become members of the Mystical Body of Christ. The Sacrament of Baptism is offered throughout the year. However, during Lent, baptisms are not scheduled on a regular basis. In order to schedule a baptismal date and to gather the information for parish records, parents wishing to have their child(ren) baptized are asked to contact Deacon Matthews directly. In case of emergency, baptism can be done at any time of the day or night.
