Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
Parents who seek baptism for their child need to be committed to raising the child in the Catholic faith. Attendance at one baptismal class is required unless you have already had the class with a previous child. Please call the office to inquire about registering for this class at 712-336-1742 or email the parish office at secretary@stmarysspiritlake.org.
Godparents must be at least 16 years old, be a practicing Catholic in good standing, and have received sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and 1 st communion. Only one godparent is required, but if there are two, one should be male and one female. For adults seeking to be baptized, please call the office to inquire about entering the RCIA classes.
