Baptism

-
The Sacrament of Baptism forgives all personal sin, takes away original sin (but leaves concupiscence, a tendency toward sin), infuses sanctifying grace, and is necessary for salvation. Baptism imprints in the soul a character, a certain spiritual and indelible Sign, and so can only be received validly once. Persons of any age may be baptized, from infant to adult. Only the baptized may receive the other Sacraments. The grace received by baptism may be lost by the commission of an actual mortal sin.

Baptismal Preparation Classes
To begin the process of having your child Baptized at St. Thomas the Apostle, it is required that all babies' mothers and fathers attend a class to prepare for this special moment in their child's life. Godparents (parishioners whether the child is being baptized here or elsewhere and non-parishioners who are Godparents to a St. Thomas baptism) are also welcome to register and attend. Class is offered on the second and fourth Sundays of every month in the Chapel from 10:35 AM - 11:20 AM. Register online.
