Baptismal Preparation
The Church believes that it is its most basic and necessary duty to inspire all,
catechumens, parents of children still to be baptized, and godparents, to that true
and living faith by which they hold fast to Christ and enter into or confirm their
commitment to the New Covenant. In order to enliven such faith, the Church prescribes
the pastoral instruction of catechumens, the preparation of the children’s parents,
the celebration of God’s word, and the profession of faith at the celebration of
baptism. (General Introduction to Christian Initiation #3)
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." (CCC1213)
Parent(s) are asked to book an appointment with Fr. Roque prior to Baptism.
Please pick up “Baptism” booklet in the foyer display.
