Sacraments

Sacraments of the Catholic Church

The Sacraments are outward signs of grace instituted by Christ and 

entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. 

BAPTISM                         

St. Joseph Catholic Church is a growing parish with many young families who wish to share their gift of faith with their children. The first step in passing this faith along to the children is the Sacrament of Baptism. Ideally baptism is celebrated at a parish Sunday liturgy so that each new Christian is welcomed into the parish by the assembly gathered at mass. For baptism preparation class please call the parish office at 268-7717 to schedule an appointment.
