Baptism

It is an ancient tradition for infants to be baptized. If you would like to have your child baptized here at Saint Paul the Apostle, you must have at least one Godparent who is a practicing Catholic.

Baptism is the gateway into the Church and the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation (along with confirmation and the Eucharist).  In baptism, we are “born of water and the Spirit,” we are given the ability to “walk in the newness of life,” and we fulfill the command of Christ to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Baptism is available for both children and adults.
