Classes for parents and Godparents are offered in both English and Spanish. This class is to prepare parents of children newborn to age 6 for Baptism. Parents must be registered contributing members of our parish for a minimum of 3 months and submit the required documentation before choosing a date for baptism. Contact the parish office for class information.
Baptism is the most important of all the sacraments because it is "…the door to life and to the kingdom of God, . . .the first sacrament of the New Law, which Christ offered to all that they might have eternal life…" (Christian Initiation, General Introduction, 3). The word baptism comes from a Greek word meaning "to plunge," or "to immerse." In Baptism we are immersed into water. This symbolizes our burial into the death of Christ and our rising up to new life in Christ. From the very beginning of the Church, this has been the Church's belief about Baptism.
St. Paul wrote:
"Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life."
Romans 6:3-4
