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 in the word."

We welcome all families with young children.  For your first step, you must become a registered, practicing, contributing member of St. Rose of Lima.  Your second step is to contact  Tessie in the office, 851-1874, to schedule and get a baptism kit.  Be sure you provide all the necessary documents 10 days prior to your scheduled baptism class.  Baptism class is the 2nd Thursday of every month at 6pm. At least one godparent must be a practicing Catholic. 

All Baptisms are celebrated on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th  Sunday of each month at 12:00 noon, after the 10:30 Mass. 

There are no baptisms and classes during Lent.
