Baptism « St. Elizabeth Seton Church

Baptism

Baptism is a Sacrament of Initiation into the Catholic Church, the beginning of new life in Christ.

All children enrolled in our Religious Education program should be baptized. Older children can also receive instruction and receive the Sacrament of Baptism either as part of the Religious Education Program or as part of the R.C.I.A. Program. Call Parish Office (630) 416-3325 for more information.

Pre-Baptism Meeting

The next Pre-Baptism meeting will be held on:

Sunday, September 20

11:15 A.M. in the Lower Level

If you are new to the parish or first time parents, this meeting is mandatory before your child may be baptized. Please call the Parish Office at 416-3325 to register for the meeting.

Baptism Preparation

Baptism is the invitation our Church offers to its newest members. A monthly Baptism workshop is provided to new parents before the sacrament is celebrated. This is an invitation to those parents to take part in the new life they are bringing into the Church. The pre-baptismal time is one of welcome for the child and their parents. It is also a time of discernment for parents as they come forward to the Church requesting Baptism for their child. Such sacramental preparation is one of the ways our Church continually reaches out to its members. This workshop is a must for new parents and those couples new to our parish.

Baptism is celebrated twice per month on Sundays at 1:00 P.M., or at the Sunday Liturgy by appointment. Please call the Parish Office to make arrangements to attend the Baptismal Meeting held every 3rd Sunday of each month.
