    • Baptism (from the Greek word baptisma, a "dipping")

      The sacrament in which, by water and the power of the Holy Spirit, a person is cleansed of all sin, including original sin, and experiences birth into the new life of Christ.Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation. The Catholic Church baptizes people of all ages--from infants to adults. To help prepare individuals and families for this sacrament, the Church offers various forms of formation

      ~ Pouring of water (or immersion)
      ~ Words: "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
