Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first of the seven sacraments not only in time (since most Catholics receive it as infants) but in priority, since the reception of the other sacraments depends on it. It is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation, the other two being the Sacrament of CONFIRMATION and the Sacrament of HOLY COMMUNION. Once baptized, a person becomes a member of the Church.

For the Baptism of your first child, completion of Infant and Early Childhood Baptism Preparation is required. You can REGISTER HERE for Baptism Preparation classes. To set up a baptism please REGISTER HERE. If you have any questions you can email Nick Rahe.

What Is baptism preparation and is it required?

Baptism preparation classes are mandatory for first time parents. Godparents are both welcome and encouraged to attend. These classes are held at St. Luke's and will be approximately two hours in length.

Godparents need to be Catholic and in good standing in their Parish. If a Godparent is not Catholic the other Godparent must be Catholic. Godparents outside of St. Luke's must send a letter of good standing from their Parish before the baptism.
