Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism

Baptism is the first sacrament of Initiation in our church.   A class is required for the parents and godparents to attend before the sacrament. Baptism can be celebrated during a Mass or after the Mass, whichever fits the family and Priest/Deacon better.

In Baptism, the Triune God frees us from sin and brings us into full membership with our community. Water is poured over the infant or child as the presider proclaims “I baptize you in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” This welcomes us to our Christian Community and helps us to live Happy, Healthy and Holy Lives in Christ in our world today.

Please contact us at the Parish Office (612-529-7779) to make arrangements for the sacrament of Baptism for your infant or young child. A free will offering to the Church of St Bridget is suggested.
