Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Infants, children of all ages as well as adults are baptized in the Episcopal Church. Each candidate for Holy Baptism is to be sponsored by one or more baptized persons.

Sponsors of adults and older children present their candidates and thereby signify their endorsement of the candidates and their intention to support them by prayer and example in their Christian life. Sponsors of infants, commonly called godparents, present their candidates, make promises in their own names, and also take vows on behalf of their candidates.

Baptisms are joyous occasions in the life of the Church and are performed on four Major Feasts during the year. 

Baptismal preparation is performed by the Clergy throughout the year. The Feast dates for baptism for 2024 are:

   • Baptism of Our Lord: January 7 (10:30 a.m.)

   • Great Vigil of Easter: March 30 (8:00 p.m.)

   • Pentecost: May 19 (10:30 a.m.)

   • All Saints: November 3 (10:30 a.m.)

Please note that three preparation sessions with the Rector are required prior to the baptism date.
