Baptism

Holy 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: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water and in the word."˜Catechism of the Catholic Church

The Sacrament of Baptism is the key that opens the door to faith. Through the waters of Baptism, the Original Sin committed by our first parents is washed away and our souls purified. By this purification, we become children of God and enter into a relationship with God that can never be erased.  Furthermore, we die to sin and are united with Christ and, through the anointing of the Sacred Oil of Christ, share in His three-fold Office as Priest, Prophet and King.
