The Sacraments are milestones in our lives, where God reveals to us His great love and especially who He is. Baptism is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation. Confirmation and Holy Eucharist are the other two. The word baptism in its origins is Greek and means "immersion" and "bath." Immersion in water is a sign of death and emersion out of the water means new life. To bathe in water is also to undergo cleansing. Saint Paul sums up this truth when he says, "You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead" (Colossians 2:12).

Baptisms may be scheduled by contacting Dr. Anne Roat.   

Baptism classes are required of all parents and godparents that have not taken a Baptism Formation Class in the last 4 years.  We encourage that these classes be taken by the parents before the child is born.  Both parents are required to attend these classes.  

Two classes are required for preparation for Infant Baptism.
Please contact Dr. Anne Roat to register for the classes or if you have any questions.
