Baptism

Infants are baptized to welcome them into the Catholic faith and to free them from the original sin they were born with. Original sin isn’t a personal sin of the unborn, but a sin transmitted from generation to generation by birth. All men and women are born with original sin, and only Baptism can wash it away.

A baptism preparation session is offered to first-time parents on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM in the Parish Center meeting room. Parents are required to attend, and may bring children to class. There is no charge for the baptism class, please call to register.

The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of every month after the 11:30 AM Mass and on the 4th Sunday every other month during the 11:30 AM Mass. Those months at Incarnation are January, March, May, July, September and November.

Please contact the Parish Office at 937-433-1188 for available baptismal dates and to schedule a Baptism.
