Making Little Disciples
Who We Are
The Infant Baptism Ministry accompanies parents and godparents as they prepare to welcome their children into the Church through the Sacrament of Baptism. Through spiritual preparation, faith sharing, and pastoral support, we encourage families to embrace their role as the primary educators of their children's faith, nurturing them to become lifelong disciples of Christ.
"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 children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission." – Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213
Our Mission
To accompany parents and godparents as they prepare for the baptism of their children, supporting families in living out their vocation as the primary educators of the faith and nurturing their children as disciples of Christ.
What We Do
- Conduct spiritual preparation sessions for parents and godparents before the celebration of Infant Baptism.
- Share the meaning, grace, and responsibilities of the Sacrament of Baptism.
- Encourage parents to embrace their role as the primary educators of their children's faith.
Who Can Join
This ministry serves parents and godparents preparing for the baptism of an infant at our parish. Parishioners who feel called to accompany young families through hospitality, faith sharing, and baptism preparation are also welcome to serve in this ministry.
