Sacraments, those rites performed to praise God and convey His good grace to the recipient, are an integral part of Catholic life, and they serve as important milestones on our spiritual journeys. Saint Bridget strives to nurture the spiritual journeys of all its parishioners as they prepare for and celebrate the different sacraments.

Sacraments of Initiation
Baptism
This Sacrament of Initiation celebrates the important and joyous
events of rebirth in Christ as a son or daughter of God and of initiation into the Christian community. During preparation
sessions, Saint Bridget supports parents as they commit to
a lifelong sharing of faith with their children. Attendance
at a Baptism Preparation class is a prerequisite for baptism.
Baptisms at Saint Bridget are celebrated at Sunday Masses or
at a Baptismal Liturgy of the Word on Sunday afternoons. If
you would like to inquire about baptism at Saint Bridget, contact
Pastoral Assistant Julie
Koury. If you or your child is over the age of seven and wishes to prepare for the sacrament of Baptism, there is a special Rite of the Church called the Rite of Christian Initiation that guides this process. For more information contact Teresa Lee.
