Holy Baptism

Holy Baptism is the sacrament that initiates an individual—adult, child, or infant—into the Christian faith, a member of the Body of Christ. The baptism service, including the vows, may be found on page 299 of The Book of Common Prayer.

Infant Baptism

We are delighted to walk with you as you prepare for your child’s Holy Baptism. In the tradition of the Episcopal Church, baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into the Christian faith and life. We celebrate this sacrament with parents, godparents, family, and community on these Sundays:

• First Sunday of Epiphany/Feast of the Baptism of our Lord

• Day of Pentecost

• First Sunday in July

• First Sunday in August

• Sunday of Labor Day Weekend

• All Saints’ Sunday

To have an infant or child baptized at Chapel of Our Saviour, the parents must be one of the following:

• Current Members of Chapel of Our Saviour, or

• In the process of joining Chapel of Our Saviour

In addition to the above, parents and godparents must attend the Baptism preparation class.

Adult Baptism

We joyfully welcome people of all ages to be baptized.

Through baptism, we are lovingly adopted by God into God’s family. Our parish clergy will help prepare you or your older child for this sacrament, which marks a formal entrance to the congregation and wider Church.
