Baptism
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians 3:27
We are thrilled to welcome children into the Catholic faith through the Sacrament of Baptism. We ask that you participate in a baptism preparation class when seeking the sacrament for your first child, but not for subsequent baptisms.
Adults and children over the age of 7 who have not been baptized prepare for the Sacrament through the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).
