"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38

Baptism of a Infant

Baptism of a Adult

(Age Below 7)

Newborn baptisms are held immediately following Sunday Mass. To schedule the sacrament, please contact Father Brauner through the contact form.

Quick Overview of Canonical Requirements 
  • Baptism requires the consent of at least one parent or legal guardian
  • The baptized child should have an adult Catholic sponsor, commonly referred to as a Godparent.
  • One sponsor is sufficient, either male or female. However, two should be appointed—one male and one female.
  • Parents are obligated to ensure their children are baptized within the first few weeks after birth, ideally as soon as possible.
For full details and eligibility requirements for Godparents, please contact Father Brauner.

(Age 7 and Above)

Once a child reaches the age of reason—typically around 7 years old—the Church requires a more intentional period of formation prior to Baptism. At this stage, the individual is capable of developing a personal relationship with God and must make a conscious decision to embrace the faith. This formation includes catechetical classes that introduce the nature of God, helping the individual to truly know, love, and follow the Lord through His commandments.

We warmly welcome you on your journey to becoming Catholic. Please contact Father Brauner through the contact form so that he can review your personal circumstances and start you on your journey towards becoming baptized.
