Baptisms

Jesus sent forth his disciples into the whole world with the directive to “Go forth and baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

Thus, the Church is entrusted with welcoming new members into the full life of God revealed by Jesus Christ. Through baptism, we become members of Christ’s body by adoption. We become and sons and daughters of the Father.

Adults prepare for baptism by entering a special preparation process called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Through the process, they come to understand the beliefs and practices of the faith community and experience the risen life of the Lord in the midst of the Church.

Parents who wish to have their children baptized also participate in reflection sessions to fully understand what they are committing themselves to as they welcome their child into the family of the Lord.
