Baptism is the sacrament in which we commit ourselves to God. We proclaim our faith in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If you are seeking Baptism as an adult you will be asked to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) program in our parish to help you prepare for Baptism.
Adult baptisms traditionally take place during the ceremony of the Easter Vigil. The Church celebrates Christ's resurrection at the Easter Vigil, when the celebrant blesses the Baptismal water. The Easter Vigil is the very best time for the celebration of baptism. Certainly this is the most suitable time for the baptism of adults.
The Church keeps record of all baptisms. A person may not receive other sacraments unless she or he has first been baptised. Therefore a priest, or his delegate, may need to check baptismal records of someone presenting for another sacrament.
