The Sacrament of Baptism at St. Michael The Archangel Parish
We are thrilled you are seeking the Sacrament of Baptism and are delighted to welcome your child into the church!* Baptisms are scheduled on the 3rd Sunday of the month, immediately following the 12:00 PM Mass.**
For preparation for Baptism, attendance at one Baptismal Preparation class is required. These are held on the First Sunday of every month in the Lower Chapel (Holy Rosary Chapel) immediately following the 12PM Mass, subject to change based on holidays and parish events. Please contact the main office to confirm.

**In an effort to keep with the instructions given in the Rite of Baptism for Children and to better highlight the meaning of Baptism, we strive only to schedule Baptisms on Sunday in community. If there is a personal need to schedule a baptism privately outside this time, this can be accommodated. Please contact the main office.
Information Updated: November 9, 2026
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 of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission.
-The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213
