Infant Baptism (infant to 6 years of age)
Baptism is the first initiation sacrament which has the Risen Christ as its source, and it is the offer of salvation for all people. The child is baptized in the faith of his/her parents, of his/her Godparents and of the Church.  The following guidelines are presented to help you embark upon this journey of faith with Christ and His Church.
