Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (
vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water and in the word." (
Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1213)
Holy Baptism is administered in our parish by appointment only. Call the Parish Office at (361) 594-3836 to book a date/time. Preparation classes are required for parent and godparents. Click here for baptism guidelines/requirements.
