Infant Baptism

There are no conveyor belts to Heaven or the sacraments! This year is not the right year for your family if you cannot answer “YES!” to the following questions:

• Do you attend Holy Mass every single Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation?
  If you attend occasionally or even monthly, then you are not ready to start the process for Baptism for your child. Jesus commands us to Keep Holy the Sabbath and to worship God in Holy Mass every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. It is a mortal sin to miss Mass on Sundays. (Read Church Precepts.)

• Do you go to sacramental Confession at least once a year?
  The Church requires yearly Confessions of all her members.It is a tragedy that too many baptized Catholic parents have not gone to Confession since their first time.

• Do you pray regularly at home?
  Jesus Christ is not a teacher, wise man, or prophet. He is our Lord and Savior. What is the purpose of Baptism if we do not have living faith in Jesus at home?

If you answered “No” to any question above, then let’s devise together the best way forward that meets the needs of your family and upholds the dignity and power of the Sacraments.

Jesus Christ desires you to know and love Him, to receive His free gift of salvation through faith, and to be not only in touch with Him, but in communion, in holy intimacy with Him.

That alone is the end game for our sacrament preparation ministry here at Prince of Peace.

If you’ve been away from the Church or want a safe and non-judgmental place to ask questions about the Christian faith, you are invited to participate in the life-changing Alpha Program.
