Catholics are brought into the Church through the saving waters of Baptism. Through this first Sacrament, we come to participate in the full and rich sacramental life of the Church and into a relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you are interested in having a child baptized, please review the "Baptism Guidelines" document below. Then, fill out the registration form (either online or paper). You will be contacted regarding the next steps in the process.

If you are an adult seeking to be Baptized, please check out the process of becoming Catholic.

Please note: Baptisms are celebrated on the second and fourth Sundays of each month.
