Baptism, the first of the initiation sacraments, is truly a celebration of God’s love and welcomes us into the extended family of the Church. Baptism brings with it great joy, and also responsibilities. Most of us were baptized as infants, and our parents chose to accept those responsibilities and to nurture us in a life of faith and love.
Parents today continue to make the choice to baptize their children, accepting those same responsibilities.
Once you have received your child’s birth certificate, please call the rectory at (516) 785-0236 to begin the process.
