Amen, amen I say to thee unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God...
The Sacrament of Baptism incorporates us into the Church, the Body of Christ, and our introduction to the life of the Holy Trinity. Water is a natural symbol of cleansing and newness of life. Through the three- fold immersion in the waters of Baptism in the Name of the Holy Trinity, one dies to the old ways of sin and is born to a new life in Christ.
Baptisms for infants usually take place any Sunday. Please click the button below to contact the parish office for more information about baptizing your child. A member of the parish staff will contact you upon receiving your submission.
Please note, you must be a registered parishioner to schedule a baptism at St. Constantine.
A godparent plays a pivotal role a child’s life. As such, a godparent must be at least 16 years of age, and regularly attending a Catholic Church of any jurisdiction.
Parents of the child being baptized cannot be the child’s godparents, however, grandparents or other family members may serve in this role. A baptized, practicing non-Catholic Christian may not be a sponsor. That person may participate as a Christian witness, but does not replace the sponsor. A Catholic who is not practicing his or her faith cannot participate as a Christian witness or sponsor.
Only one godparent is required. If you would like to have two godparents, one must be male and the other must be female (i.e. there cannot be two males or two females).
At least two weeks before the date of the baptism, sponsors must submit a letter of eligibility from his or her parish indicating that he or she meets the above requirements.
The Baptism of adults is practiced when there was no previous baptism in the name of the Holy Trinity. If your child has reached the use of reason (usually around 6 or 7) and is under the age of 18 or if you are an adult seeking baptism, please contact us below.
