Congratulations on the recent or upcoming birth of your new baby!  Our parish rejoices with you on this wonderful occasion.

Choosing baptism, and new life in the Christian faith, is the best gift that you can give your child! In asking that your child be baptized into the Catholic Church, you, as parents, also take upon yourselves a significant commitment. You will speak on behalf of your child at the baptism, promising to raise and educate your child in the Catholic faith "by your word and example".

Baptism Outside of Mass
Group baptisms are celebrated on the third Sunday of each month at 1:00 PM (English) and the second Saturday of each month at 12:00 PM (Spanish).

Baptism During Mass
Baptisms may also be scheduled during any weekend Mass.
