Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism becomes the basis of our Christian life, the gateway to life in the Holy Spirit, and the door which allows us to experience the other sacraments of the church.

Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. By being baptized, we become members of the Catholic Church and our parish family.

Children are typically baptized within a few months after birth. Baptisms are usually held the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Parents and Godparents are required to attend the baptism class.      

Godparents have a very important responsibility in helping your child grow in their faith.  The qualifications for a godparent set forth by the Archdiocese of Omaha help you as parents choose the most appropriate people in your life to accomplish that goal.  Godparents must be at least 16 years of age, have received the sacraments of Baptism, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation in the Catholic Church, and if married, were married in the Catholic Church.
