Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua),4 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.
(Cathechism of the Catholic Church,1213)
The sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on Sundays after the 10:00am Mass.
“Baptism is birth into the new life in Christ” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1277). Baptism is the gateway into the Church by which we become adopted sons and daughters of God the Father, and temples of the Holy Spirit. Jesus taught that Baptism is necessary for salvation. All original sin and all personal sins are forgiven through the graces received in Baptism. The baptized become members of the Body of Christ, the Church, and share in Christ’s three-fold mission of priest, prophet and king.
Parents who wish to have their children baptized are to be registered members of the parish. Parents will find a time to meet with Andrew for 30-60 min to talk about the beauty of baptism and how this new life will help them and their family grow and follow the Lord.
To schedule a Baptism, contact Andrew Wagenbacn 715-495-7715.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
--Mathew 28:19-20
