What is Baptism?
Baptism is the first sacrament of welcoming or initiation into our Church. It occurs by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the pouring on or immersing in water as the priest or deacon proclaims, "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Through this action, the person is cleansed from all sin including original sin, reborn as a child of God, and welcomed into the Body of Christ, our Church. In baptism, we receive the Holy Spirit and, also become co-workers with Christ in his ministry on earth as priest, prophet and king.

These classes are held four times a year (January, April, July and October). Part one deals with the sacramental symbols of baptism. Part two covers the parental role in the sacrament. The class lasts about 1 hour 15 minutes. It is recommended that the classes be completed before the baby is born. Pre-registration is required. Please contact the parish office 920-739-3196 to sign up.
Infant Baptisms are only celebrated on the Second weekend of the month, (except during Lent). Call the office 920-739-3196 two months in advance. First time parents must attend a 2-part Baptism Preparation session, which is held four times a year. Call the parish office 920-739-3196 to pre-register for the sessions.
