Baptism gives us a new identity. It brings us into the family of the Church as birth or adoption brings a child into a family. But Baptism, like birth, is only a beginning. It takes a long time to grow into our identity. Discovering who we are as Catholic Christians is like acquiring a sense of personal and family identity: it takes both time and intimacy with others.

Adults seeking information on Baptism in the church should see the information under the 
RCIA program.

Parent Orientation - Parents should attend a Baptism Orientation. Please contact the Rectory (973-398-6377) for scheduling information. This preparation helps the parents reflect on the spiritual dimension of their role. Through prayer, sharing, and discussion on each part of the rite of Baptism parents are helped to participate more fully in the celebration of their child's Baptism

Schedule - Infants are baptized on Sundays at 1:00 PM. Please call the Rectory to schedule your child's Baptism. Baptisms at Sunday Mass are encouraged.

Please note there are no Baptisms during the Lenten season.
