Baptism

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door, which gives access to the other sacraments. (Catechism of the Catholic Church)

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month, at 2:00PM. Some families choose to have the celebration of Baptism take place at one of the Sunday Masses.

Prior to the Baptism, Parents and Godparents are asked to participate in a conversation/instruction about Baptism. This takes place in the Parish Rectory, 432 Adams St., on the 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:30PM, and on the 3rd Saturday of each month at 11:00AM.

Please call the rectory, 617-698-2439, to make arrangements for the Baptism.
