baptisms
Holy Baptism is the sacrament through which a person is united with Christ and received into the Orthodox Church. Through water, prayer, and the grace of the Holy Spirit, Baptism marks the beginning of a new life in Christ. It is one of the most joyful and meaningful moments in the life of the Church. Through Baptism, a person is united to Christ, becomes a member of His Body, the Church, and begins a new life filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit.
What Is Holy Baptism? In the Orthodox Church, Baptism is not simply a symbolic act. It is a true sacrament of new life. Baptism is God’s loving embrace, welcoming a child or adult from the brokenness of the world into the fullness of life in Christ.

Baptisms may take place throughout the year, except during Holy Week and Christmas, unless special permission is given.
