When considering Baptism for your child, take time to reflect on what it is you are asking of God’s Church, and we invite you to consider the meaning of your Baptism and the words within the Rite of Baptism.
What has it meant to you to be a member of the Body of Christ?
How do you live out your baptismal commitment today in love and service to God and the community?
Are you ready to be a Christian parent, forming your child in the practice of faith, and teaching them to keep God’s commandments?
We invite you to worship regularly with us on the weekend!
Before the baptism of your child, you will need to meet with the pastor. To schedule an appointment with Fr. Sadhanala please call the parish office at 585-352-5481.
Godparents and Sponsors
When an infant is baptized, it is the parents who have the responsibility for choosing godparents who will serve as good examples for living the Catholic way of life. It is customary to have two godparents. A godparent can be a man or woman, and a Christian of another tradition may be chosen as a witness provided there is at least one Catholic godparent.
The Catholic godparent MUST be:
16 years of age or older
Fully initiated in the Roman Catholic Church (baptized, confirmed, and receiving the Eucharist)
Ready to commit the time and personal care to nurture and support the child and parent(s)
Baptism isn’t just for babies. Older children and adults of any age can become members of the Catholic Church. Go to our RCIA tab to learn more about the Rite Christian Initiation for Adults.
