"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission..." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213)
Infant Baptism
In Church law, for the purposes of reception of baptism, every child under the age of seven is considered an infant and is therefore eligible for baptism without special catechesis. Please call the Pastor or Deacon at (918) 744-0023 to schedule a baptism for your infant. Once a child reaches the age of seven, which is the presumed age of reason, he or she must first take part in a special program before receiving the sacrament.
There are several things required for a child Baptism. If you are wanting to inquire about having your child Baptized, please call the parish office to make an appointment to speak with the pastor.
Baptismal Certificates
To request a copy of your baptismal certificate, or that of your child, please contact June Benton in the parish office at (918) 744-0023 ext. 10.
In Case of Emergency after hours, call 918-398-9063.
