Baptism
" Baptism is the door of the spiritual life and the gateway to the sacraments."
- St. Thomas Aquinas
In addition, both parents and godparents are required to attend one pre-baptismal class prior to your child's baptism. Classes are offered the first Wednesday of the month in both English and in Spanish.

Baptism is the initial sacrament of God's grace in a Christian life with the Holy Spirit. Through Baptism we are freed from sin, reborn as God's children through water in the Word, and become part of the Catholic Church community, (CCC 1213).
We are delighted to welcome you as you come to plan the Baptism of your child here with our St. John the Baptist Community.
