Sacramental Moments

Picture
Baptism

Baptism is the sacrament of initiation into the Body of Christ. By the pouring of water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity, the human person becomes one with Christ, a temple of the Holy Spirit, a child of God, a member of the Church.

Baptisms are celebrated at Saint Anselm's on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, on Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday. The sacrament may also be celebrated at other times through the year by arrangement with the Parish Office. Baptisms are not celebrated during the season of Lent.

Preparation for the celebration begins by reading the documents available below, then completing the inquiry form and/or phoning/emailing the Parish Office. Preparation includes a meeting of parents, and godparents (offered in person or via zoom), with the Rector.

    BAPTIZING AT SAINT ANSELM'S

Submit

Confirmation

It is a tradition of the Church to invite those who have been baptized to confirm their faith as they grow toward human maturity. Saint Anselm's affords the opportunity each year to our young people - and those who have not previously been confirmed - to seek Confirmation in the Church. Those who wish to join the Episcopal Church from another faith tradition can also take these classes to be formally Received into the faith. At the beginning of each calendar year, those interested are invited to commit to a program of preparation for the eventual celebration of Confirmation with one of our Bishops.

Call or email the Parish Office for more information.
