Baptism

Through baptism we become members of Christ's family. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. We become members of the Body of Christ as we are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission.

Baptisms are a community affair at St. Rose of Lima and are celebrated at certain weekend Masses. If you are seeking baptism for your child, the first step is to call the parish office at: 508-393-2413. 

We joyfully look forward to welcoming your child into the life of Christ, and into our family of faith, through this beautiful Sacrament of initiation into the Christian faith. As you prepare for this enriching and life-giving Sacrament of God’s love, know that our community is ready to accompany you, as you enter into a deeper understanding of the sacrament and your role as guardian of your child’s faith. 

Parents requesting baptism for their children are required to attend a Baptismal instruction class prior to the baptism.  This class is a helpful and encouraging tool for parents as they become the primary teachers of the faith for their child.
