The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments. There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.

Sacraments are "powers that comes forth" from the Body of Christ, which is ever-living and life-giving. They are actions of the Holy Spirit at work in his Body, the Church. They are "the masterworks of God" in the new and everlasting covenant.

To prepare for Baptism a parent must call the office to give the necessary information needed to complete paperwork. 


Information needed before the baptism can be scheduled:

• A copy of the child's birth certificate
• Letter in Good Standing for each Godparent signed and sealed by the pastor of the Church they attend
• A copy of Godparents confirmation certificate. 
• A copy of marriage certificate of Godparents (must be married by a catholic priest).

To schedule a baptism or for more information please call Tricia at 337-585-2279.

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 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.
