In Baptism, we become adopted children of God. We are made part of Christ’s Body, the Church, and are freed from sin. This first sacrament of Christian initiation opens the door to the other sacraments. Jesus opens the door to the Kingdom of God to all who are baptized in water, and in the Holy Spirit.

If seeking baptism for children ages 7 to 18, or adults, the Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC) and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) are the processes that prepares them for Baptism, or to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church. This process takes several months with regular gatherings, leading up to the Easter Vigil. For more information, please follow the link:

RCIC and RCIA Information

If seeking baptism for children younger than the age of 7, our Infant Baptism Formation Workshop helps prepare parents and sponsors for the wonderful Rite of Baptism, and the important ongoing commitment to faith formation of children. They will then be welcomed into the Catholic Church on a predetermined date.

In order to be Baptized within the Blessed Trinity Family, we ask that you follow these steps:

1. Parishioner Registration – To properly welcome your child and family into our community, we ask that you be a registered member of our family.  Please click below for our New Parishioner Registration.  If already a member, we are glad you are a part of our family!  If you are a member of a different Catholic Church, we will seek a Permission to Baptize letter from your current parish.

If married, the Godparent must have been married in the  Catholic Church. They must be of the opposite sex, at least 16 years of age and must be registered at a Church and attend the Catholic Mass regularly. If only one Godparent meets the requirements, a baptized, non-Catholic may stand in as Christian Witness.
