Infant Baptism at Newman Center
(Infants and children 6 years old)
Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit…and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as [children] 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 and the word, (Catechism of the Catholic Church, Part 2, Section 2, Chapter 1, Article 1.)
How do I get my child baptized at the Newman Center?
Because the Church recommends that the baptism take place shortly after the birth of a baby, parents are encouraged to register for Baptism preparation during pregnancy. We encourage parents to sign up at least three months before the desired baptism date.
Who can register?
Families who are registered parishioners, facility, staff or students at the University of Oregon, Bushnell University, or Lane community college may inquire about baptizing their children at the Newman Center.
