Baptism is the first of the three sacraments by which one becomes a member of the Church and a new creature of Christ. The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church were instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church to make the love of God real and present in the world. Parents wishing to make arrangements for baptizing their children should call Barbara Austin, Director of Evangelization at 443-981-3187 ext. 113 or email baustin@saintmarkfallston.org
Expecting parents are encouraged to contact the office before the birth of their child. Parents are required to participate in a Baptism preparation class before the baptism is celebrated. Godparents are welcomed and encouraged to participate in the preparation class with the parents.
Baptisms are celebrated on the third Saturday of the month at 10:00 a.m. as well as on the first Sunday of the month at the 11:00 a.m. Mass.
Adults interested in becoming Catholic should call Barbara Austin, Director of Evangelization at 443-981-3187 ext. 113 or by email at baustin@saintmarkfallston.org
