Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism cleanses us from sin, and initiates us as members of the Christian community. The Catholic Church recognizes baptisms from other Christian denominations that baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus, adults or children who have been baptized in a valid Christian church are not baptized again in the Catholic Church. For an online preview of the celebration of Baptism please create an account on FORMED and click on the icon below.
Children aged 6 and younger are eligible to receive the Sacrament of Baptism at any of our regularly scheduled Masses.
Parents and Godparents are required to attend one class, which is offered on the first Sunday of each month at 10:30 a.m. in our Pope St. John Paul II meeting room across the street from St David of Wales Church.
Canonical requirements that must be met for baptism and to be a godparent can be found at

Anyone age 7 thru 17 requesting baptism must participate in a program of Faith Formation (RCIC).
Anyone age 18 and over must participate in RCIA.
