Baptism

“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.'” (CCC #1213)

If you are a registered member of Christ the King and desire to have your infant or young child (age 6 or younger) baptized, please call the parish office to schedule the baptism. All parents must complete a baptism registration form, and first-time parents must attend a baptismal preparation session.

For more information, please contact Fr. Geoff and be sure to download and read our preparation materials below.

A child older than age 6 who desires to be baptized must complete the RCIC program. Please contact Teresa in the parish office for more information.

“We were already his, for we bore the name of Christians. We had already been initiated into his church. We had been washed in baptism and confirmed in our belief and given the eucharistic nourishment in memory of him. But there seemed to come a time when the Lord was calling us to take some further step.” —Constitutions of the Congregation of Holy Cross (1.2)
