New life in Christ
Baptism is a Christian initiation rite that involves immersing or sprinkling a person with water, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It represents death to sin, resurrection to a new life in Christ, and entry into the community of believers. Baptisms are celebrated according to the Roman Rite, as established by the Catholic Church, making it a valid baptism recognized by all Catholic Churches.
