"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), 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: 'Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.'"

- CCC 1213

Parents who desire to have their child baptized will attend a pre-baptism class and meet with one of our priests. Pre-baptism classes are offered twice monthly. Individuals desiring Baptism for themselves or their children are invited to contact Emily Kwiatkowski at ekwiatkowski@onecatholic.org or 585-589-4243 x 112 to begin the process or for more information.
