Baptism

Baptism are celebrated on the 1st Saturday of the month in English and 2nd Saturday in Spanish.

Dear Parents and God Parents,
We are happy that you have chosen to have your child baptized at St. Bernadette. The essential requirement for Baptism is that at least one parent commits to raising the child in the Catholic faith by practicing and attending Mass. There must be a founded hope that the infant/ children will be brought up in the Catholic religion.                                                                                                                       Baptism for children seven (7) years and older:
Children 7 years and older must be enrolled in our Religious Education program in order to be baptized.

Baptism for infants (age 1 and under) and children (1 to 6 years old):
Parents who wish to baptize their infant and children 1 to 6 years old should follow the instructions below. We will be glad to assist you.

Emergencies:
An infant or child in danger of death is to be baptized without delay. Please contact the office.

Through baptism men and women are freed from sin, are reborn as children of God, and, configured to Christ by an indelible character, and thus are incorporated into the Church
