Baptism Inquiry

 

The birth of a child is a major event in the life of any family. On behalf of St. Gabriel Catholic Community, we extend to you and your child our warmest welcome. Baptism is inviting your child into Christ and into the Church. You are the primary teacher(s) for your child. Your child will learn about life, love, God, and our Catholic faith from you. By your example and life, your child will learn about your values and beliefs. The decision to have your child baptized is a serious one. Baptism is no mere social convention, but the Sacrament in which Christ Himself purifies,  justifies, and sanctifies (cf. 1 Peter 1:23) your child for eternal life. This decision means that you are choosing to accept responsibility for your child’s early faith formation. We rejoice with you in the birth of your child and look forward to welcoming him or her into the Family of God and the communion of the Holy Catholic Church. To assist you we have established the following preparation process. Please read our guidelines carefully in order to facilitate your celebration.
