Infant Baptism, in the Catholic tradition, is a Sacrament of Initiation.   This means parents or guardians are introducing their child to a faith community and asking that community to welcome that child.  As a parish community, we want you to prayerfully consider your decision and to learn as much as you can about the awesome responsibility you are considering.  Are you ready to make the commitment to actively participate in the faith you are choosing for your child?

If your answer is yes, please contact the parish office at (714) 962-3333 or ssj@ssj.org to begin the Baptism process.
