Dear Parents,
Congratulations on the birth of your newborn child, a gift from God. We rejoice with you on your desire to present your child for the Sacrament of Baptism into our parish community.
The Sacrament of Baptism is as solemn and important as birth itself. The most important part of preparing for your child’s baptism is to look at your own faith. Infant baptism can only be meaningful if the parents are committed to raise the child in the faith. Parents need to remember that they are the primary religious educators of their children. For this reason, we have a process for infant baptisms at Queen of Angels as presented below. Please review it carefully.
We are ready to assist you in your sacred duty. We hope that you will begin and end each day by blessing your child with the Sign of the Cross on his/her forehead. This daily link between yourself and your child is a good opportunity to strengthen your own faith.
May God bless you and may your lives show forth the love of Christ.
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Chris Kintanar
Pastor, Queen of Angels Parish
