The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship in the Catholic Church. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.

Please call the Parish Office to arrange an appointment for a pre-baptismal meeting for parents. Godparents must be confirmed, practicing Catholics.

Holy Orders is the Sacrament through which men receive from God the grace to perform the sacred duties Christ entrusted to His Church. The Twelve Apostles were the first priests and bishops of the Church.
