Baptism

Baptism Information

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)

To have your child baptized at St. Jerome, you must be registered at St. Jerome and you must attend a Baptismal Preparation Class, (held on a the 3rd Sunday of the month in the Faith and Life Center; Room 8).   After attending the class, please call the office, 877-3771, to schedule your child’s baptism. Baptisms can take place on Saturday between 9:00 am and Noon by appointment
