We
rejoice with you as we look forward to the Baptism of your child. By
dying and rising with Christ, your child will be initiated into the family
of faith that is the Church. What a joy we share with you as you
welcome your child into our faith community.
During this time of preparation for your child's Baptism, and throughout
your time in our parish, we are eager to assist you, who are the primary
instructors of your child in the faith. We hope that you will find
in our parish community a nurturing support for both your faith and the
faith of your child.
It
is a special challenge and privilege to live and share Catholic family
life. We deeply reverence your vocation and ministry as parents.
We pray that your family will grow with our family as we help each other
live the life of God in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.
