Husband, wife and God bring about new life. The Lord of life creates the human soul “ex nihilo” - “from nothing” - at conception. The Sacrament of Baptism then gives this child Eternal Life. The child is adopted into the Eternal Family of the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and enters into the Church and receives the gift of the Catholic faith. At baptism, PARENTS take on the primary responsibility of showing their child how to live a Catholic life. “Words sound, example thunders.”

We don’t do quickie, “drive-thru” baptisms at Holy Trinity or Historic Saint Patrick parishes. You must be a registered and active member. This means that you attend Mass every Sunday, which is the bare minimum to be a faithful Catholic. To begin the process of having your child baptized at either parish, please email Deacon Al Lundy for a class about baptism responsibilities. Please include your cell phone number in the email.
