Plan a Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism

Baptism is the sacrament by which one is freed of sin and brought into the life of the Church. Baptism washes away original sin, and incorporates one into the body of Christ.

Baptisms at St. Catharine of Alexandria

Our Parish celebrates Baptisms in English every first Saturday of the month, Polish Baptism every second Friday of the month and Spanish Baptism every third Friday of the month. 

Parents must be registered members of the Parish or must live within the parish boundaries. If you do not live within the parish boundaries and wish to have your child Baptized at St. Catharine, you must obtain a letter of permission from your Pastor.

Only the mother or father of the child can make the arrangements for the sacrament of Baptism.

Registrations must be made in person and Parents must bring:

  • An Original copy of the child’s birth certificate 
  • Proof of address
