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 and in the word" (Catechism, 1213).
 

Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mak (character) of his belonging to Christ (Catechism 1272).

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first sacrament we receive when we become members of the Church.

Due to COVID, on the first three Sundays, we now arrange 12:15 & 1:15 PM as Baptismal times.  Only one family per time slot. Arrangements must be made at least two weeks prior to the Baptism. Attendance at a Pre-Jordan class is required for first time parents. Please pre-register for class by contacting the Rectory at 215-725-1240.
