SACRAMENTS
BAPTISM
Baptism is a sacrament, an act of initiation into the Christian Community, and an introduction to Christian life, whereby the redemptive death of Christ, which happened once in history, is present in the ritual of poured water or water immersion.
Preparing for Baptism from infant through the age of six, normally involves getting together with both of the parents, and discussing all the details. This includes filling out a Baptismal Registration, going over the requirements for sponsors and receiving materials to review before the scheduled Baptism class, which the sponsors may also attend. For more information, please contact Deacon Dave Karpanty at 419-385-7227 or dkarpanty@yahoo.com
For information about baptismal preparation for a child above the age of six (first grade or above), please contact Rebecca Reamer at 419-381-0240 or rebecca.reamer@toledostpats.org
Baptism Classes
Classes normally take place in the Emmaus Room, next to the chapel, at 1:00 PM, on the second Sunday, of every other month.
The Celebration of the Sacrament
Since Baptism is an act of initiation and welcoming into a particular parish community, it is celebrated in its fullness at the weekend Mass, which the parents normally attend (except during Lent). Baptisms may also occur outside of Mass, with other families, in a communal event celebrated by a deacon. This normally occurs at 1:00 PM in the Church on the third Sunday of every month (except during Lent).
