Children's Sacraments (Baptism, Frist Communion, & Confirmation)

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 (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213).

If you would like to receive preparation as parents or Godparent(s) of a child to be baptized, please fill out the form below and plan to attend the next baptism preparation class, held the second Sunday of each month (excluding the summer months of June, July and August) from 3:00pm - 4:00 pm in the St. Thomas Moore Library). Godparents must be at least 16 years old and be baptized and confirmed Catholics. A $20 donation is suggested for materials.

For those seeking a deeper relationship with Christ through membership in the Roman Catholic Church are guided through the RCIA process. This year-round process always welcomes new participants. RCIA is a great way to explore the Catholic faith, ask questions, and enjoy fellowship with others along this journey. To learn more about the RCIA process, please contact Fr. Jimmy Hsu, CSP.

For families in the University Catholic Center community, preparation for First Reconciliation, First Communion, and High School Confirmation are provided as a part of the Religious Education program. For more information, contact re@utcatholic.org!
