Baptism

Baptism at Our Lady of the Holy Family Parish

“In Baptism every Christian personally meets Him; he is inserted into the mystery of Christ’s death and resurrection and receives a new life, which is the life of God. What a great gift and what a great responsibility.” -Saint John Paul II during his homily on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord 2003.

The decision to baptize your child is a great gift and a great responsibility. The time of preparation and the celebration of the sacrament invite the parents, godparents, and other loved ones to enter more deeply into an understanding of God's love and presence in our lives. As parents and godparents, you are making the commitment to nurture a life of faith for your child. The Catholic faith is the greatest gift you can give to your son or daughter.

Baptisms are held on the first and third Saturday of the month at 11:00 AM. All parents are required to attend a Baptism preparation class, which right now is being reconfigured to meet everyone's needs during these times.

Please register below. You will receive more information from the parish within a week. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office at (312) 243-7400 or send an email to OLHFParish@archchicago.org.
