Receiving the Sacrament of Baptism

​

St. John the Baptist schedules Baptisms of young children on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month after the 11:00am Mass (other times can be scheduled if absolutely necessary and based on the availability of the clergy). 

     

  • Parents are encouraged to set up a Baptism preparation class through the church office before the date of the Baptism is scheduled (contact the Parish Office).

  • At least one Catholic godparent must be practicing and in good standing in the Church (letter from current parish needed).

​

If you are an adult interested in Baptism and entering the Church, please contact our Religious Education Office for more information on our RCIA or RCIC program (RCIA = Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, or of Children).

The Sacrament of Baptism is every Catholic's entrance into the new life of Christ and the Church.  It is a beautiful experience of God's Divine grace being poured into our hearts through water and the most ancient prayers of the Church!
