“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
The Sacrament of Baptism for children under 7 years old* is regularly celebrated every third Saturday of the month in English at 10:30 a.m., and every first Saturday of the month in Spanish at 10:30 a.m.
Here are the 2025 Baptism Class, Paperwork Due Date and Ceremony dates:
Children older than 7 years old will need to register for religious education classes before getting baptized.
