Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first of the Catholic Church's three Sacraments of Initiation. It celebrates God's loving embrace and welcomes new members of His Church into the fullness of life with Christ.

The majority of parishioners baptized at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church are infants and young children. To make the experience as meaningful as possible for their families, at least one parent is asked to attend a 90-minute preparation class before their first child is baptized at Nativity. Of course, both parents and godparents are encourage to attend. The baptism class requirement must be completed prior to requesting a date for baptism.

At least one Godparent must be a practicing Catholic, at least 16 years of age and confirmed in the Catholic Church. A person of another Christian faith may stand as a witness.

• Baptism classes are held on the 4th Sunday of each month at 1:30 p.m. in the Main Church (No class is held in December)
• Baptisms are held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month at 9:30 a.m. in the Main Church. These ceremonies are limited to the first 6 families.

To register for the baptismal class and the Sacrament of Baptism, please call the Lannan Parish Center at 696-5401.
