Baptism
TEEN

We are truly happy to welcome you and your child to the Corpus Christi Catholic Church community. For Catholic Christians, Baptism is the beginning of all Christian life. Jesus instructed His disciples to “Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matt. 28:19-20).

During Infant Baptism, parents and godparents vow before God to teach their children the Catholic Christian faith. If children are ages seven (7) and older they need to be taught to know, love, and serve Jesus Christ. The process that assists parents in teaching their children to follow Christ is called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults - RCIA.

Your child will need to complete a year of Religious Education in the applicable grade of study. Then, upon successful completion, the child will enter the  RCIA process  the following year. At the end of these sessions, your child will receive the Christian Initiation Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist (Communion) at the next Easter Vigil Liturgy on Holy Saturday. 


What are the Goals of RCIA?
(i) ​To develop a relationship with Jesus Christ
(ii) To have a prayer life with God and one’s family
(iii) To know the Bible, the Sacraments, and the teachings of the Catholic Faith
(iv) To be fully prepared to receive the Sacraments of Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist (Communion)

​What is the Role of Parents, Grandparents, and Family in this Process?
Family involvement is very important. Children cannot solely learn to be patient, generous, humble, and prayerful from a class that meets once a week—they need parents, grandparents, or godparents who live and pray the faith. Parents are responsible for leading their children in daily prayer at home and attending Mass weekly.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states,
“The family is the community in which, from childhood, one can learn moral values, begin to honor God, and make good use of freedom.”

The Church community assists you as parents in your commitment to bring your child up in the Catholic Christian faith. While we will be teaching your children at Corpus Christi, parents remain the primary teachers.
