What is baptism?
Baptism is the foundational Christian sacrament signifying new life in faith. Through it, one becomes a member of the Church community.
The ritual uses water as a symbol of spiritual cleansing and rebirth in Christ. It marks the beginning of the Christian journey.
This sacred tradition is celebrated with families and the faith community, welcoming the baptized into a life rooted in love and hope.
