Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway into life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water and in the word." - Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 1213

If the one to be baptized is 8 or older please contact the pastor before moving forward.

Requirements:

• Parents validly married in the Catholic Church
• Godparents
  - At least one Godparent is to be practicing Catholic.
  - Godparents are to be a minimum of 16 years of age and have received the Sacrament of Confirmation.
  - If any Catholic Godparent is a parishioner outside of St. Joseph, Oakley or St. Paul, Angelus, they need to have a letter of good standing sent from their pastor to the pastor of Oakley and Angelus before the baptism.
