Baptism
Baptism is one of the initiation sacraments of the Catholic Church. In baptism, we are incorporated into the Body of Christ. In Baptism, we celebrate God's love for each of us and are welcomed into the local parish as a new member of the Church.
Scheduling
Baptisms are celebrated on Sundays at Noon or if the Family prefers, during a weekend Mass. Please call the rectory (508-476-2002, x1) to make arrangements for your child’s baptism. Parents who have not previously attended a Baptism Preparation session at St. Denis will be asked to attend a session at 6 pm in the Gathering Room on the first Monday of the month.
Please note that any Catholic who wishes to be a godparent must be confirmed and must fill out the sponsor elegibility form. Additionally, the godparent must obtain a confirmation certificate from his/her parish of baptism.
