Congratulations! We are delighted to welcome your child into our Catholic family.
Baptisms are an important part of parish life in the Catholic Church. If your child is up to six years of age and not yet baptized, contact your parish to begin the arrangements. Generally, this process will involve an interview of the parents, and potentially a few preparation sessions prior to the celebration of the child’s baptism.
Check with your parish to learn more about this process. If you do not yet have a regular parish, visit our Parish Finder to find one near you.
If your child is seven years old or older, please visit Becoming Catholic to learn more about preparation for baptism.
