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. THROUGH BAPTISM WE ARE FREED FROM SIN AND REBORN AS SONS OF GOD; WE BECOME MEMBERS OF CHRIST, ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE CHURCH AND MADE SHARERS IN HER MISSION" - CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Children of Catholic parent(s) who have reached the age of 7 (age of reason) and have not been baptized are invited to participate in the RCIA Adapted for Children process. This process will prepare young people and their families for the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.

Because the sacraments unite us to Christ and his Body, the Church, all families preparing for sacramental reception through the RCIA Adapted for Children process need to be registered and active members of the St. Francis Catholic community.

Parents of children in the RCIA Adapted for Children process are required to participate in the RCIA process for adults.

Please contact Melissa Silvestro for more information.
