The rite of Baptism

Baptism Preparation

Parents requesting baptism for their child must meet with Father James before scheduling and attending the Baptism class.

Please call the parish office at (254) 666-7722.

The Baptism Preparation class for parents and godparents is held each month on the first Monday. Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are washed clean of sin, born again as sons and daughters of God, configured to Christ the Savior and incorporated into His body, the Church.  Because of this, Baptism is not only necessary for salvation but it stands as the gateway to the reception of the other Sacraments. 
 
Only one godparent is required for Baptism.  This godparent must be a Catholic who has received First Communion and the Sacrament of Confirmation and who lives a life of faith befitting the role of sponsor.  If two godparents are chosen one of each gender must be selected.  Please call the church office to register for this class.
