Sacrament of 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. Those Baptized are reborn as children of God, become part of the family of Jesus, become members of the Church and share in the mission of the Church.

​

Baptism (together with Confirmation and Eucharist) reveals how God wants each of us to belong to Him. This connection with God also connects us to every other Baptized person prompting us to care for others and form a community of faith and love with other believers that continue to reveal God’s love to the world.

 

Baptism also reveals our purpose in life: to know, love and serve God in all kinds of ways, but especially through one another.

​

The prayers of Baptism demonstrate how the love of parents for their child reflect the way God looks at each person.
