Baptism

Congratulations on this exciting new season of life!
Our St. John's Community is here to walk with you in preparing for your child's baptism
and your family's ongoing journey of faith.

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit."

"With Baptism we become children of God in his only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Rising from the waters of the baptismal font, every Christian hears again the voice that was once heard on the banks of the Jordan River: ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.'"

Pope John Paul II "Christifideles Laici"
