Baptism

Baptism makes us children of light and empowers us to bring the light of Christ into the world.  Baptism is God’s unearned gift to us that confers the grace and life of Christ.

The baptism process below is for newborns through children age 7. For children older than age 7 or Adults seeking Baptism, please contact the office for information about the RCIA process or visit the RCIA Page.

Infant Baptism Class
Prior to the Baptism, parents and godparents are required to attend a baptism class if they have never attended one or it has more than three years since last their last attendance. If this class is not taken at St. Angela, please provide proof of attendance from the parish where the class was taken. Our parish Baptism Class is held at 7pm in the St. Angela Room in the Church.

Celebration of Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated after the 12:00 PM Mass on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. You may reserve your baptism date after you have met the baptism class requirement. You must schedule your baptism date at least one month in advance. To baptize your child at our parish, you must be a registered parishioner or live within our boundaries. If this is not the case, you will be required to submit a letter of permission from your pastor or the church whose boundaries you live within.

Required Paperwork
Complete the Baptism Information Sheet here. This form must be submitted to the office prior to scheduling the Baptism and a copy of the child's birth certificate must be attached. This can be turned in at the baptism class or after the birth of the child, whichever comes first.
