"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
Matthew 28: 19-20
"Baptism is God's most beautiful and magnificent gift....We call it gift, grace, anointing, enlightenment, garment of immortality, bath of rebirth, seal and most precious gift."
Catechism of the Catholic Church #1243
If you are expecting or if you have recently had a baby, congratulations! We celebrate baptisms here at St. Edith Stein on the last Sunday of every month at 1pm for babies and children under six years old. Both parents and godparents need to attend a preparation class prior to the baptism. The classes are held on the third Sunday of the month from 1-4pm. To sign up for these classes, please call Mayra May at the parish office at 281-492-7500. You will need to provide a copy of your child's birth certificate in order to receive a baptismal certificate.
