The Sacrament of Baptism

The reception of the Sacrament of Baptism initiates one into the believing Christian community. The Baptism of infants is the more common practice. In preparation for this, the parents (and if possible the godparents) should attend a Baptism Preparation Session. Deacon Brian Miller conducts these sessions and will be more than glad to assist attendees with any information needed for the actual celebration of the Sacrament.

The celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism for adults is explained under the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.
