Baptism

Baptism, the first sacrament of initiation, marks the beginning of a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship to Jesus Christ. At Lumen Christi Catholic Church, we joyfully welcome children into our faith community. It is our hope that the faith of parents will be deepened as they bring their children to the font to become new members of the Catholic Christian community. We pledge to you our ongoing prayers and support.
