Children's Baptism


Picture
Baptism is not only the first of the seven sacraments; it is also the basic sacrament. How? Unless a person is baptized, none of the other six sacraments can be received. Only a baptized person can be confirmed. Only a baptized person can receive absolution in the Sacrament of Confession. Only a baptized person can receive the Sacrament of Matrimony. Only a baptized man can be validly ordained a priest.

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole 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 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."

If you would like to have your infant or your child baptized, please contact our parish office at (260)665-2259 or pastor@stpaulcatholicchapel.org

​On the baptism of a child of school age

If your child already goes to school and wishes to be baptized, we will do the preparation as part of their ordinary religious education. The baptism itself will be celebrated at Easter. See here for information on our catechism program.

On the baptism of an adult

If your are an adult and are contemplating baptism in the Catholic Church, we ask you to participate in a preparation program called The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. These baptisms, too, are celebrated at Easter. Click here for more information on the RCIA.
