The Sacraments are milestones in our lives, where God reveals to us His great love and especially who He is. Baptism is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation. Confirmation and Holy Eucharist are the other two sacraments. 

The word baptism in its origins is Greek and means "immersion" and "bath." Immersion in water is a sign of death and emersion out of the water means new life. To bathe in water is also to undergo cleansing. Saint Paul sums up this truth when he says, "You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead" (Colossians 2:12). 

Parents of the child to be baptized should be an registered and active member of St. Mary Cathedral or St. Ann Church for six months. 

Baptisms may be scheduled by contacting Joe King.   

Baptism classes are required of all parents and godparents that have not taken a Baptism Formation Class within the last three years.  We encourage parent to complete these classes prior to the child being born. Two classes are required for preparation for Infant Baptism and both parents are required to attend these classes.

Please contact Joe King to register for the classes or if you have any questions.
