Baptism

- The Sacrament of Baptism is the gateway to the Christian life. It is the first Sacrament of Initiation and the foundation upon which all the other Sacraments depend. Through water and the Holy Spirit, a person is cleansed from all sin, most especially Original Sin, and is reborn as a child of God into the new life of Christ in the Church.
  
  At Triumph of the Holy Cross Parish, Baptisms are generally celebrated after Sunday Mass:
  
  Saint Elizabeth of Hungary – 9:15 a.m. (after the 8 a.m. Sunday Mass) OR 12:15 p.m. (after the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass)
  
  Saint Thomas à Becket – 10:15 a.m. (after the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass)
  
  Saint Clare of Assisi – at 10:15 a.m. (after the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass)
  
  Holy Spirit – at 12:15 p.m. (after the 11 a.m. Sunday Mass) (This Mass has temporarily been transferred to Saint Elizabeth due to plumbing issues at Holy Spirit)
  
  A Baptismal Preparation Class is required for parents before the Baptism of their first child. This preparation consists of two parts: watching the "Baptism: Belonging in the Family of God" online course and a parish In-person session. Call the Parish Office at 412-755-2046 for the next In-person session. See the Document "Prerequisites and Checklist for Baptism" below.
