Please contact the office to schedule a preparation meeting and then the baptism.
If your heart is prompting you to become Catholic, please contact Father Jacek to learn more about our RCIA program. Weekly meetings begin in mid-Seprember and lead catechumens through the liturgical year towards Easter, when the sacraments of initiation are celebrated.
If you were baptized or received into the Catholic Church at St. Catherine's, we have a record of your initiation in our book of baptisms. You will need this baptismal certificate for First Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage/Holy Orders. Contact Sarah Monette, our Church Secretary, to request a copy.
"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, 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)
