Baptism

Baptism is the first of the Sacraments of Initiation into the Catholic faith. Through Baptism, we become a member of the Body of Christ. The principal effects are purification from sins and new birth in the Holy Spirit.

Baptisms are celebrated on the second and fourth Sundays of each month at 1:15PM. A Baptism class is held for all new parents and godparents on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30PM in the Parish Center. Those wishing to be a godparent must be at least 16 years old and be a Confirmed Catholic.

To schedule a Baptism or for more information call Leea Regan at the rectory at (781) 665-0152, ext. 26.
