Baptism 0-6 Years

Baptism (Ages 0–6) at St. Clare Catholic Church supports parents as they prepare to celebrate their child’s baptism. Through guided preparation and parish support, families are welcomed into the Church and invited to begin nurturing their child’s faith in a loving Catholic community.

The Sacrament of Baptism


Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life. It is the gateway to the fullness of life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the Word.
