Baptism is the first step of your child’s journey of faith — a beautiful beginning where they are claimed as a beloved child of God and welcomed into the Church, the Body of Christ.

At St. Ladislas, we are honored to walk with your family as you prepare for this sacred moment. Whether you are new parents or new to the Church, we will help guide you through the meaning of the Sacrament, the preparation process, and what to expect on the day of the Baptism.

Baptism is typically celebrated for infants and young children. Families meet with our Director of Faith Formation to reflect on the significance of the Sacrament and learn about the responsibilities of raising a child in the Catholic faith.

Ready to begin? Email Director of Faith Formation Lisa Belza at lbelza@stlads.org to learn more about the Sacrament, scheduling, and next steps.
