Baptism

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the beginning of a lasting communion with God.

Infant Baptism The Baptism of Infants (6 years and younger) is celebrated on any Saturday or Sunday after Masses (or Saturdays at 11:00a.m or 2:00p.m.). Parents and godparents are highly encouraged to read the documents: Part I - Baptism Canon Law and Part II - Sacrament of Baptism and watch the 6 minute video (Sacraments 101 - why we baptize)  provided below.

Children and Youth Baptism If your child is 7 or older, make an appointment to speak to the Director of Relgious Education and discuss baptismal preparation. For more information: [email protected] or call 706-453-7292.

Adult Baptism (ages 18 and older and not in high school) A community of inquirers forms each fall, and each proceeds at his or her own pace to Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist at Easter. The Christian Initiation Rites are celebrated at the Easter Vigil Mass. For more information: [email protected] or call 706-453-7292 Ext. 8
