Baptism is frequently called the "first sacrament," the "door of the sacraments," and the "door of the Church". Read more about the sacrament and its importance here.

Parents who would like to have their child baptized should be registered memebers of St. Matthew Parish and should register for and attend a baptism preparation class prior to the desired baptism date. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, please contact the Parish Office to schedule the date of your child's baptism.
