Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
-- Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph #1213
If you would like to have your child baptized at St. Joseph please contact the parish office at (662) 323-2257. We ask that you become a registered parishioner and that you attend a baptismal preparation course. They are held quarterly at St.. Joseph. Once that is completed a date can be arranged. If you have taken the course in the last few years, there will be no need to take it again.
Please fill out this form for the Baptism. If you have any questions, please call the Church Office (662) 323-2257 for more details.
