Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is often called "The door of the Church," because it is the first of the seven sacraments not only in time (since most Catholics receive it as infants) but in priority, since the reception of the other sacraments depends on it.

It is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation, the other two being the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Once baptized, a person becomes a member of the Church. 

For Catholics, the sacrament is not a mere formality; it is the very mark of a Christian because it brings us into new life in Christ.

Baptism is available for infants, older children and adults. Please call the Parish office at 251-981-8132 to schedule a Baptism.
