Baptism: information
St. Edwin welcomes families, couples, and individuals who find
fulfillment in belonging to a local Catholic-Christian community and
who look forward each Sunday to the celebration of the Eucharist. If
you have this outlook, Baptism is a new beginning, offering many
years of joy, holiness, and personal growth.
To those who approach us to receive this sacrament, we promise to do
our very best to provide you with outstanding service in a beautiful
parish setting, with lots of opportunities to serve and get to know
people. Stop by for a visit; the pastor will be happy to give you a tour!
Below we provide some opening information according to age. Feel
free to contact the office for further assistance!
Baptism for children under age seven:
One of the joys of our faith is to welcome a child into our Catholic-
Christian family through this first sacrament. Baptisms in English are
normally held at the 11:00am Mass, typically outside the season of
Advent and Lent.
Once you arrive to the office, we will direct you to our simple online
baptism registration form if you are already active members of the
parish. You can also find a list of the documents necessary to present to
the office for baptism here. We now offer the required baptismal class;
you can find information here.
If you are not currently an active member of our parish, you can find
information about our (p)re-registration program here.
Baptism for children grades two through eight

preparation to receive all three Sacraments of Initiation, the first of
which is Baptism. This program takes place within our children’s First
Holy Communion program. We have information about that here.
Baptism for teens in high school
Young people in high school who need baptism are invited to enroll in
our extended high school program, in preparation to receive all three
Sacraments of Initiation. This program takes place within our high
school Confirmation program, which you can find here.

Adults eighteen and above, who are looking to receive Baptism, First
Holy Communion and/or Confirmation, are invited to enter our new
