Baptism

Baptism is the gateway into the Church and the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation (along with Confirmation and the Eucharist).  In Baptism, we are "born of water and the spirit," we are given the ability to "walk in the newness of life", and we fulfill the command of Christ to "make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit".

We welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the baptism of your child.  Baptisms are currently being celebrated on Sundays at 1:00PM following the noon Mass.  If you are registered parishioners of St. Thomas More and  would like to have your child baptized at St.Thomas More;

• Contact Sharon Hall to make preparations for Baptism 
• Attend a baptism preparation class if this is your first child to be baptized.
• Choose Godparents who are at least 16 years of age and are fully initiated practicing Catholics (they have recieved the sacraments of Baptism and Catholic Confirmation, and if they are married their marriage was celebrated in the Catholic Church.)

Baptism preparation classes are scheduled by appointment.  Contact Sharon Hall to make arrangements.    

If you are an adult looking to be baptized into the Catholic Church please follow this link, Becoming a Catholic
