St. Paul the Apostle
The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is the basis of Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission. Baptism of your child ideally takes place within the first few months after birth, but can happen later. We are delighted that you are seeking baptism for your child with our parish.
Baptism Process Overview:
Baptisms will not be celebrated over the summer months and will resume in the Fall of 2026.

Date Request:
The formal Baptism Request Form is currently being revised. However in order to assist families with planning we are providing an option to request and hold a date. Parents are welcome to complete and submit a Date Request Form to hold a date. The baptism itself will NOT be confirmed until the revised Baptism Registration Form is completed in full and submitted. Parents who submit the Date Request form will be sent the revised registration form as soon as it is published.
Questions regarding the sacrament of baptism or the registration process should be directed to Arden Ouellette, Pastoral Minister.
