St. Joseph & St. Jerome


Baptism is the sacrament that marks the beginning of the entire Christian life, and is the first of the sacraments of initiation. In Baptism we are freed from sin and become sons and daughters of God. We receive the very life of God, become part of the Body of Christ, become members of the Church, and are called to share in its mission (Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church).

The Catholic Church baptizes at any age, infants through adults, though the requirements vary based on the age of the person to be baptized. For baptism requirements or to schedule a baptism, click one of the buttons below.
