Baptisms within our parish are scheduled in advance with the parish office. Generally, Baptisms take place following the 10:30am Mass in St. Paul's Church on Sunday Morning. In most cases, the parish priest or deacon administers the sacrament, anointing the person being baptized with oils, and pouring blessed water over the child or adult’s head not just once but three times. It is a true Sacrament instituted by Christ and is necessary for salvation. Baptism effects the remission of original sin and actual sins and of all punishment due to sin; it confers sanctifying grace, membership in Christ and in the Catholic Church and the obligation to obey the Church's laws, and give indelible character, that is, it cannot be removed.
