Baptism

Baptism is the door to the other sacraments. It removes all sins, making us “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Pet 1:4), adopted sons and daughters of the heavenly Father, and heirs of heaven. The sacrament of Baptism is so important that Jesus said without it we “cannot enter the kingdom of God” (Jn 3:5). It is in the Sacrament of Baptism that the Christian is “born again” in Christ.

Baptism 

Are you seeking the Sacrament of Baptism for a young member of your family? St. Peter Church provides not only the details pertaining to the Baptism ceremony but also provides parents with the Church’s teachings regarding the responsibility of raising their child in the Catholic faith. Parents will learn that they are the primary educators of their children in the faith.

St. Peter Baptismal Preparation consists of one mandatory session, usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the Upper Room (318 S. Jefferson Ave.):

• Both parents are to attend the informational session.
• Guidelines for choosing Godparents will be given at this session.
• Godparents are to attend an informational session.
