Baptism

Baptism is the initial sacrament for entrance into the Catholic faith. Once a person desires baptism it is because he/she is responding to God's invitation to enter into a relationship. But because infants and very young children are not yet able to express this desire, it is not on their faith that we baptize these infants and very young children. We baptize the children on the faith of their parents. But such faith requires something from the parents; the responsibility to help raise their children in their baptism.
The community of Resurrection parish supports your desire for baptism. It will be your duty to bring up your child in the practice of the faith and it is ours to help you nurture that faith. Baptism is often an event that brings families back into contact with their religious roots.
For a baptism at Resurrection Parish, one or both parents must be registered members of the parish.
Parents registered in another church parish who wish to have their child baptized at Resurrection Parish must first obtain a letter of permission from the pastor of the church parish in which they are registered.
Parents complete the baptism registration form.
This form is used to identify the child to be baptized, prepare the baptism certificate, and record the baptism in our Sacramental Record Book.
Parents also meet with our pastor or his respesentative to learn about the sacrament of baptism.
Baptisms are generally scheduled on a Saturday afternoon.
Please contact the parish office with any questions.
