Baptism is the rite of initiation into the Christian community, what St. Paul calls "the body of Christ."  Baptism may happen at any age, whether infant, child, youth, or adult.  We welcome all inquirers to speak to us about this important step of incorporation into the life of the Church.

Baptisms are always celebrated in the context of our Sunday worship, on the four principal baptismal feast days of the Christian year.  The dates for the 2012-2013 program year are:

• November 4, 2012 (All Saints’ Sunday)
• January 13, 2013 (Feast of the Baptism of our Lord)
• March 30, 2013 (Easter Vigil at 8 p.m.)
• April 7, 2013
• May 19, 2013 (Day of Pentecost)

The dates for the 2013-2014 program year are:

• November 3, 2013 (All Saints' Sunday)
• January 12, 2014 (Feast of the Baptism of our Lord)
• April 19, 2014 (Easter Vigil at 8 p.m.)
• June 8, 2014 (Day of Pentecost)

We sometimes also schedule an extra baptism date in the summer.
