Baptism
-
The Sacrament of Baptism joyfully celebrates the entrance of new members into our Catholic Christian community and in to the Body of Christ, and fully reforms and proclaims the baptized as a child of God. This renewal allows the baptized to grow in faith through the grace of justification, which strengthens faith in three ways, by:
"enabling [the baptized] to believe in God, to hope in him, and love him through the theological virtues; giving them the power to live and act under the prompting of the Holy Spirit through the gifts of the Holy Spirit; and allowing them to grow in goodness through the moral virtues"
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1266
Baptism is an essential and foundational aspect of the Catholic faith.
The celebration of infant Baptism is scheduled on most Sundays at 1:15pm. In preparation for this event, parents must attend a Baptismal preparation class. Please call 410-838-3627 to register through the parish office and to arrange Baptism.
