English Baptism Class Schedule for 2020: 8:30am, January 11, April 11, July 11 and October 10th. For location and more information please contact Nelda Kurten at 936-825-3920. 

Scheduled Baptisms will be celebrated once a month at 11:30am every 1st Saturday following completion of the baptismal classes the prior month.

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua) and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission. Catechism of the Catholic Church #1213.

The policy and procedure to baptize at Christ Our Light is the following: Be a registered member of the parish or live within our boundaries. If neither pertain to your situation, a letter is needed from your pastor granting permission to baptize here.

• Have attended a baptism class within the last three years, either as a parent or godparent.

• Fill out the Baptismal Information Form and return via email or bring to the pastoral office. This form is needed in order to schedule the baptism celebration. If more than one child, a separate form must be filled out.

• Copy of child’s birth certificate.

• All baptisms must be scheduled through the Parish Office.
