Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Baptism washes away original sin and incorporates one into the body of Christ. It is received only once in one's lifetime; it is not a repeatable moment. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
Baptism for children under 7
Baptism will be every other month, after parents and godparents take Philip Course. Classes will be on weekends or you can go to six classes that will be given on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Please make sure you bring child’s birth certificate before the date of baptism.
If you would like more information on any of the sacraments at Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, either call the Rectory at (718) 624-1572, or submit an email inquiry and you will be contacted by a member of the parish staff.
