The Sacrament of 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 1213

Please contact the Parish Office at least three months prior to a date being formalized.  This early contact enables parents to be scheduled for the necessary sacramental formation sessions before the child’s Baptism.  It also allows time for the proper paperwork to be completed and submitted to the parish office.  Once the formation date is set, and proper permissions are received, then a Baptism may be scheduled.

All Baptisms will be celebrated during a Sunday Mass Liturgy or directly following a Sunday Mass.  Baptism preparation is required, please call the Parish Office at (337)786-3500 for more information.

If you are an adult interested in baptism, please see the link on RCIA and contact the Parish Office with any questions. We would be happy to help guide you on your faith journey!
