Baptism - ST. MARK Religious Education

Nov 29, 2017

Welcome to St. Mark Religious Education - Baptism Program

At River Oaks Church, we believe that baptism is a sacred sacrament that holds significant importance in Catholic religious education. Our Baptism Program, offered at St. Mark, provides individuals and families with a meaningful and transformative experience of initiation into the Christian faith.

Understanding Baptism and Its Significance

Baptism is a momentous event that marks the entry of an individual into the Christian community. It symbolizes the cleansing of original sin and the commitment to live a life rooted in faith and spiritual growth.

Through baptism, one becomes a member not only of their immediate family but also of the wider Catholic Church family. It is a celebration of new life and a way for individuals to publicly proclaim their dedication to Christ and the teachings of the Church.

The Process of Sacramental Preparation for Baptism

At River Oaks Church, we strive to ensure that each baptism is a profound and transformative experience for all participants. Our sacramental preparation process for baptism is designed to guide and support individuals and families in their spiritual journey. The baptism program at St. Mark includes the following elements:

  1. Information Sessions: These sessions provide an in-depth understanding of the sacrament of baptism, its symbolic meaning, and the responsibilities of parents and sponsors.
  2. Personal Guidance: Our dedicated team of religious educators and clergy members offer personal guidance and support throughout the entire baptism preparation process.
  3. Parental Preparation: We recognize the crucial role parents play in nurturing their child's faith. Our program includes specific sessions focusing on the role of parents in their child's religious upbringing.
  4. Sponsorship: We encourage individuals seeking baptism to choose a sponsor who can guide and mentor them in their spiritual journey. Our program provides guidance on selecting a suitable sponsor.
  5. Prayer and Reflection: Our baptism program incorporates prayer, reflection, and spiritual exercises to deepen the participants' understanding of the sacrament and their personal connection with God.
  6. Celebration: The culmination of the baptism preparation process is the joyous celebration of the sacrament itself. St. Mark provides a beautiful and welcoming environment for this special occasion.
