THE SACRAMENTS OF INITIATION
Through the sacraments, we become sons and daughters of God, part of the body of Christ, part of the community we call church
BAPTISM
The preparation of parents and godparents for infant Baptism happens is offered through a single Saturday morning class that is taught once a quarter. The sacrament itself is conferred a week later. Adult baptism is offered through our RCIA programme.
