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.
Infant Baptism at St. Jude is usually celebrated on the third Sunday of the month at 2:00 pm. Parents and Godparents are asked to attend a Baptism Preparation class before the Baptism. Our Baptism Preparation class is on the fourth Saturday of the month. Please fill out this form and contact the parish office at (718) 763-6300 for more information.
