Baptism of Infants

The baptism of infants has a long history in the Church’s celebration of the sacraments. For a Christian family, the passing on of the faith begins with the Baptism of the child. Baptism takes place within the community of the parish. It is the parish’s celebration of new life and the continuation of the faith. Further information regarding the celebration of Baptism may be obtained by contact the parish center.
