Baptisms
Celebrating the Gift of New Life in Christ through Baptism
Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation, where we are welcomed into the Catholic faith and the family of God. Through this sacrament, we are cleansed of sin and reborn in the Holy Spirit, beginning a lifelong journey of faith and discipleship. At St. Rose of Lima, we celebrate Baptism as a joyful occasion for individuals and families, marking the start of a new life in Christ.
-
We welcome individuals of all ages to be baptized. While infants are typically baptized with the guidance of parents, adults can also receive the sacrament through our OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) program.
-
Parents must attend a Baptism preparation class prior to scheduling the sacrament. You can register for the class and find additional details by contacting the parish office.
-
Godparents must be baptized Catholics who are at least 16 years old and have received the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation. They must also be willing to help the child grow in the faith.

Spanish Baptisms are celebrated every Saturday, with the last Saturday of each month reserved for English Baptisms.
To schedule a Baptism, please contact the parish office.
