Baptism

Sacraments
Overview

Baptism is the foundation of the entire Christian life. Through it, a soul is freed from original sin, claimed as a child of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, and welcomed into the Body of Christ. It opens the door to every other sacrament.


What to Know

  • Both parents and godparents receive preparation before an infant is baptized
  • Adults seeking Baptism enter through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
  • A godparent is a spiritual guide for life — not an honorary title
  • There must be a genuine intention to raise the child in the Catholic faith
