Baptism

Infant Baptism
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Baptism is the first sacrament of Christian initiation. Through Baptism we are freed from the darkness of our world, we become sons and daughters of God and are embraced into the family of the Church.

If you want to have your baby baptised, the first step is to contact our parish and we will assist you in preparations. 

The baptism ceremony for adults and teens is similar to baptism of children except that you make the baptismal promises yourself. Instead of godparents, adults have sponsors whose role is to encourage you in the catholic faith.

Adult Baptism:

If you would like to be received into the church as an adult you will participate in some instruction through a program - the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or R.C.I.A. 

Traditionally adult baptisms take place during the ceremony of the Easter Vigil. Therefore, you might be asked to wait for Easter for Baptism.
