We are glad you have chosen Christ the King to fulfill your child’s first sacrament.
Baptism is one of 3 sacraments of initiation along with Eucharist and Confirmation. The child is baptized in the faith of his/her parents, of his/her godparents, and the Church. It is the duty of the parents to teach the child the Catholic faith by modeling it and by actively teaching them about the faith.
Please see below the requirements for preparing your child for Baptism. A copy of these requirements may also be obtained in our Church Office.
