About
Baptism incorporates us with Christ and forms us into God’s people. It is the first sacrament of initiation. The Catholic Church baptizes people of all ages — from infants to adults. Adults seeking baptism should visit our OCIA program page. Children of school age should contact Emily Klinker at eklinker@stvictoria.org for more information.
Infant baptisms are held during all Masses during the 2nd weekend each month (except during Lent).
The Sacraments are a gift from God to be shared for the benefit of the individual, the community and the world. Families wishing to have their child baptized at St. Victoria are expected to be registered members of the parish.
To prepare for infant baptisms, parents will attend a Baptism preparation class called “Jordan Nights,” which are offered four times a year (see schedule below). It is required that parents attend this night before scheduling their Baptism date, and they are encouraged to attend prior to their child’s birth. Both parents are encouraged to attend the Jordan Night. (Parents are exempt from class attendance if they have attended a Baptism class at St. Victoria in the last five years.) Godparents/Sponsors are also encouraged to attend the Jordan Night.

The Sacred Rite of Baptism
Baptism holds a profound place in the Catholic faith as the sacrament of initiation, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. At St. Victoria, we cherish this sacred tradition, welcoming new members into our parish family with open arms. Our community values the spiritual growth and unity that Baptism fosters, celebrating each ceremony as a moment of grace and renewal.
