"For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." (Gal 3:26-27)
Child Baptism Program
It is with great joy that we assist parents in having their children baptized into Jesus Christ and welcomed as members of the Catholic Church and the OLPH Faith Community! Baptism is the first and most significant step in becoming a fully initiated Christian and, as such, there are appropriate preparations.
