Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Baptism washes away original sin and incorporates one into the body of Christ. It is received only once in one's lifetime; it is not a repeatable moment. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Baptism/Bautismo
Baptisms are celebrated in English regarding the first Sunday of each month at noon. Arrangements should be made one month prior to Baptism. Children 7 years or older should register for religion classes.
Los Bautizos en Español son celebrados el Tercer Domingo de cada mes a las 10:30 a.m. Las Inscripciones deben hacerse con un mes de anticipación en la oficina. Niños de 7 años en adelante deben registrarse en la catequesis para poder ser bautizados.
