Baptism
In Baptism we receive new life in Christ. Baptism takes away original sin and gives us a new birth in the Holy Spirit. Its sign is the pouring of water.
Baptism at St. Clement
Infant Baptism
For an infant to be baptized at St. Clement, at least one parent must be a practicing Catholic (regularly attending Holy Mass and participating in the life of the parish) and a registered member of the parish. Baptisms are scheduled each Sunday of the month after the 11:00 a.m. Mass. Parents are asked to contact the Rectory (preferably before the child is born) at (314) 965-0709 to schedule a meeting with the priest or deacon who will be administering the Sacrament.
Adult Baptism
For an adult to be baptized at St. Clement, or to learn more about the Catholic Faith, an individual is asked to contact the Rectory at (314) 965-0709 about the RCIA program (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults).
