In Scripture, St. Paul would baptize whole families including children (Acts 16:33). It is a free unearned gift of God’s love. Jesus earned this gift for your child when he died on the cross. Through Baptism we are freed from original sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. By being baptized, we become members of the Catholic Church and called to become saints. 

 

“Babies should baptized within a few months after birth. Baptisms are available by calling the parish office and filling out a form. Parents and godparents must take a class which is online at this time. The class does not have to be taken again if it has been less than three years since you took it for a previous child’s baptism. Since they are models and will be professing their faith in the rite of baptism on behalf of the child, godparents must be practicing Catholics who regularly receive the Sacraments. If they are married they must be married in the Catholic Church.
