What is Baptism?
The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of Christian life and the first of the seven sacraments. Through Baptism we are born again, not on a physical level but a spiritual one. We are baptized into Jesus’ death and therefore, share in His Resurrection (Romans 6:3-7). Baptism cleanses us of the stain of original sin and brings the Holy Spirit and His grace into our souls (Acts 2:38, 22:16) where we become new members of the Body of Christ and the Catholic Church.
