Baptism
Baptism is the first Sacrament of Christian Initiation and the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. Through Baptism, we receive new life in the Risen Christ and become members of the Church. Children are welcomed into this life of faith with the loving support of their parents, godparents, and the entire parish community.
Once a child turns seven years old, they will have to participate in OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, adapted for children) in order to be baptized. Learn more about OCIA here.
To learn more about the process and God parent requirements, please review the Saint George Sacrament of Baptism Guide. If you have any questions, contact the Rectory Office at 814-864-0622 to speak with a staff member. After submitting the baptism registration form, please allow 2-3 business days to process before you are contacted by our office.
