Baptism
|
"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 1213).
It is an exciting time when parents learn that they are expecting a baby. In accepting this gift from God, they take on the responsibility of training their child in the Catholic Faith. The first step in that formation of their child is to have their child baptized. Parents need to make an appointment with the Fr Bala before scheduling a date with the Parish Office. |
