Rite of Christian Initiation for Children (RCIC):
If you have a child you would like to have baptized at St. Francis of Assisi Parish who is over the age of seven (7), please contact Cheryl Brooten in the Parish office extension 24, or by email . After attending a series of classes, children over the age of seven receive all three sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation and First Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil.
Baptism is a sacrament of welcome into the community of Jesus Christ. The people of God with common faith take an active part in the celebration of the sacrament of Baptism, welcoming the newly baptized into the community of the Church.
