Parents and Godparents, please arrange to meet with the priest prior to setting a date for the baptism of your child.
According to Canon Law, children over 7 years of age must attend at least a year of RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children) and will be baptized, confirmed, and make their first Holy Communion at the Easter Vigil Mass.
"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 in the word". Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
