Welcome to the Family

“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. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters 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 and in the word.”
— (CCC: 1213)

How do I schedule a baptism? 

To schedule a baptism, contact Tracy Walton at the parish office or at twalton@stjohn23.org.

Baptism Retreat

All first time parents, or parents who are having their first child baptized at Saint John XXIII, are required to attend our “New Parent” Retreat.

Need a form signed?

If you have a godparent form for Baptism or a sponsor eligibility form for Confirmation that needs the pastor's signature, please contact Fr. Jeff directly at jmcbeth@stjohn23.org.

Forms dropped off at the parish office or sent via email will not be accepted.
