Baptism is the sacrament received before all others. It is the sacrament by which we become members of the Church, the Body of Christ, and share in Christ’s priesthood. Baptism is received only once, its indelible mark of the Holy Spirit inviting us to share in the grace, the divine life, and the mission of the Church.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

If you want to learn more about the Catholic Church, prepare for initiation into the Catholic Church through Baptism, or receive First Communion as an adult, RCIA is the process to investigate.

RCIA meets on Monday evenings at 7:30PM in Room 2.

RCIA for Children also meets on Monday evening at 6:30 PM. Children six years or older who are unbaptized and children in third grade and beyond who have completed a first year of Communion preparation are invited to enroll in this process. Contact the Religious Education office at 818-991-3915 extension 113 for more information.

Baptismal Preparation (for infants)

Parents desiring to baptize a child and sponsors or godparents are required to attend a pre-baptismal class to explain the sacrament of Baptism and the important role parents and godparents play in this sacrament and in the child’s spiritual life.

Classes are held on the second Thursday of every month at 7:30PM. Baptisms are scheduled for the first, third and fourth Sunday of the month at 1:00 PM.

Contact the parish office for baptismal information.
