Baptism - Baptism is the central rite through which the faithful enter into communion
with Christ's life, death, and resurrection. Baptism washes away sins and welcomes new
members into our Catholic family.

Infants can be baptized soon after birth. At the time of Baptism, parents vow to practice
their faith and provide a Catholic upbringing for the child.

Adults who have never been baptized take part in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults), and will typically be baptized at the Easter Vigil. The Catholic Church recognizes
the Baptism from other Christian denominations who baptize in the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thus, a person can only be baptized once.
