Baptism for Infants or Young Children
Congratulations! Your faith journey with your child has begun. You will be their first and best teachers of the faith. At your child’s baptism, you accept the responsibility of training them in the practice of the faith. Baptism is a sign and seal of our common discipleship.
How to Begin:
Baptism for Adults
Adults seeking to be baptized into the Catholic faith enter into a process called RCIA. In Athens, these classes begin in September and continue until Easter when the Candidate is received into the church and is Baptized, Confirmed, and given Eucharist.
