"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), 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: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church)
Baptisms are ordinarily celebrated at the Church on the second and fourth Sunday of each month (dates are subject to change) at 1:30 p.m., or during Mass if requested and available.
Please call the parish office at 508-697-9528.
Parents and Godparents are required to complete a Baptism Preparation class prior to the child's baptism. These classes are held each month at our parish center. Parents are welcome to attend the class during the pregnancy if it is more convenient.
BAPTISM PREPARATION CLASSES ARE CURRENTLY ON HOLD.
Please contact Tina Larson in the parish office at 508-697-9528 or tlarson@sta-parish.org to schedule a Baptism.
