Baptism The sacrament of baptism ushers us into the divine life, cleanses us from sin, and initiates us as members of the Christian community. It is the foundation for the sacramental life. At baptism, the presider prays over the water: Father, look now with love upon your Church, and unseal for her the fountain of baptism. By the power of the Holy Spirit give to this water the grace of your Son, so that in the sacrament of baptism all those whom you have created in your likeness may be cleansed from sin and rise to a new birth of innocence by water and the Holy Spirit. (Christian Initiation of Adults, #222A) Freed from Sin Baptism frees us from the bondage of original and actual sin. Water is poured in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Today, the sacrament of baptism is often performed on infants, shortly after birth. Adult baptisms take place at the Easter Vigil through the restored Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults. Adults or children who have been baptized in a valid Christian church are not baptized again in the Catholic church. As we say in the Nicene Creed, “I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins…” The Catechism teaches: "The fruit of Baptism, or baptismal grace, is a rich reality that includes forgiveness of original sin and all personal sins, birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ and a temple of the Holy Spirit. By this very fact the person baptized is incorporated into the Church, the Body of Christ, and made a sharer in the priesthood of Christ" (CCC 1279). Baptismal Symbols - Water – The waters of baptism recall Jesus’ own baptism by John the Baptist in the river Jordan. Water is a symbol of cleansing and renewal as we begin a new life in Christ. We are washed clean of sin. - Oil – At baptism we are anointed into the life of Christ as “priest, prophet and king.” A cross is traced on the candidate’s forehead as a reminder that we are inheritors of the Kingdom of God. - Light – The baptismal candle is lit from the Paschal or Easter candle that stands in the church as a sign of Christ’s light in the world. At baptism, we receive the light of Christ and are called forth to share this light with the world. - White garment – The white garment that is placed upon us at baptism is a symbol of Christ’s victory over death and his glorious resurrection. Likewise, the white garment or pall that is placed over the coffin at the time of death recalls our baptismal promises and reminds us that we are destined for eternal life. While in ordinary circumstances, sacraments in the Catholic Church are administered validly by a member of the ordained clergy, in an emergency situation, the sacrament of baptism can be administered by anyone. In case of necessity, any person can baptize provided that he have the intention of doing that which the Church does and provided that he pour water on the candidates head while saying: “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (CCC 1284). Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. We provide a baptism preparation class that you can attend either before or after the birth of your first child. Baptismal preparation classes are scheduled through Fran Arnold. For parents and godparents whose child will be baptized at another church, a letter of attendance will be given at the class. This class does not have to be repeated for subsequent children. After attending a baptism preparation session, please Contact Us to arrange the date for your child's baptism, allowing 30 days for the baptism to be scheduled. Baptisms are celebrated as a community at the Saturday or Sunday liturgies. However we understand sometimes there are special circumstances. If that is the case for you, please Contact Us to arrange a private baptism. If you are going to serve as a sponsor for baptism at another church and need a letter, please call or e-mail the parish office. Baptismal Certificates can be obtained by contacting the office. For information on adult baptism please see the RCIA section of this website.

Krštenje Svaki čovjek opterećen je istočnim grijehom. Istočni grijeh pojam je koji označava gubitak prvotne svetosti i pravednosti s kojima je čovjek stvoren. Još se naziva izvorni ili iskonski grijeh jer iz njega proistječu svi drugi grijesi. Isus Krist nas je svojom mukom, smrću i uskrsnućem oslobodio od istočnog grijeha, odnosno ponovno nam je ponuđeno zajedništvo s Bogom, a na nama ovisi hoćemo li to prihvatiti. Sakrament krštenja nastao je zbog izričitog Kristovog zahtjeva gdje on kaže: „Pođite dakle i učinite mojim učenicima sve narode krsteći ih u ime Oca i Sina i Duha Svetoga i učeći ih čuvati sve što sam vam zapovjedio“ (Mt 28,18-19). Sakramentom krštenja dobivamo sljedeće milosti: postajemo kršćani, postajemo djeca Božja, te bivamo oslobođeni od istočnog grijeha. U pravilu krstitelj je svećenik (ili đakon). U izvanrednim i hitnim slučajevima može krstiti svatko tko zna što je krštenje i voljan je krstiti krštenika. U samom obredu krštenja pripravnik (krštenik) najprije izražava svoju želju da bude kršten i nakanu koja ga u tome vodi. Kod krštenja djece tu želju i nakanu u ime krštenika izražavaju roditelji i kumovi.Nakon toga krštenik sluša Božju riječ. Njom ga Bog poziva na vjeru i obraćenje. Snagom te riječi Bog iznutra obraća njegovo srce. Odrasli krštenici pripremaju se na krštenje i slušaju Božju riječ kroz dulje vrijeme tzv.katekumenat, kako bi njihova vjera i obraćenje dovoljno sazreli. Obraćenje i vjeru krštenici izražavaju odreknućem sotone – odbacuju zlo, grijeh i praznovjerje – te ispovješću vjere kojom se neopozivo opredjeljuju za Boga u Isusu Kristu. Bitan čin krštenja je trostruko pranje vodom – bilo uronjavanjem bilo polijevanjem – uz pratnju i riječi „ja te krstim u ime Oca, Sina i Duha Svetoga“.Obredi poslije pranja vodom označuju: Mazanje krizmom označuje da krštenik postaje pomazanik s Kristom. Bijela haljina znak je novoga krštenikova dostojanstva (krštenjem postajemo “Božji sinovi”) i znak njegove krsne nevinosti po oproštenju grijeha – ali i znak njegove obveze da odsada živi neokaljano po uzoru na Isusa Krista koji nije počinio zla. Uskrsna svijeća koja gori kod krštenja označuje prisutnost Isusa Krista – Uskrsloga. On je svjetlo i putokaz za novi život krštenika i izvor svega što nam se daruje po krštenju. Zato se krštenikova svijeća pali na uskrsnoj svijeći. Obred “Efeta”, tj. obredno otvaranje krštenikovih ušiju i usta, simbolički pokazuje da je krštenik stupio u novi odnos s Bogom: odsada će njegov život biti neprestano i pomno slušanje Božje riječi te spremno odazivanje toj riječi; (takvo će ga slušanje Božje riječi osposobljavati da za ljude može pronalaziti “prave riječi”). UVJETE ZA KUMSTVO PRI SAKRAMENTU KRŠTENJA propisuje Zakonik kanonskog prava (kanon 874 par.1) Kan. 874 – Da bi se komu dopustilo preuzeti službu kuma/e, potrebno je: 1. da ga odredi sam krštenik ili njegovi roditelji ili onaj tko ih zamjenjuje ili,ako tih nema, župnik ili krstitelj i da je prikladan te da ima nakanu obavljati tu službu; 2. da je navršio šesnaestu godinu života, osim ako dijecezanski biskup odredi drugu dob ili ako župnik ili krstitelj smatraju da zbog opravdana razloga treba dopustiti iznimku; 3. da je katolik, potvrđen i već pričešćen i da provodi život u skladu s vjerom i preuzetom službom; 4. da nije udaren nikakvom zakonito izrečenom ili proglašenom kanonskom kaznom; 5. da nije otac ili majka krštenika
