The sacrament of Baptism is considered to be a person\'s second birth. In the Catholic Church baptism is the first of seven sacraments and is seen as a sign of faith a commitment to the Christian life and an invitation to be part of the Church. The Catholic Church teaches that through baptism a person is born again spiritually cleansed of their sins and welcomed into the family of God.

The general process of baptism involves the following:

  • A priest or deacon blesses the water used in the baptism
  • The person is then fully immersed in the water three times or the priest may pour water on the person\'s head three times
  • The priest then pronounces the words of baptism which are "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
  • The priest then anoints the person with holy oil and clothes them in a white garment which symbolizes their new life in Christ

Baptism is a sign of a new start and a person\'s first step in the journey of faith. It is a precious gift from God and a reminder of the unconditional love and mercy that God offers to all who believe in Him.
