Baptism

The parish family of St. Patrick Church is happy you are interested in being baptized or in having your child be brought for baptism!

In the waters of baptism, we become members of the Body of Christ – God’s People. We are configured to Jesus Christ the High Priest and share in his prophetic, kingly, and priestly mission. Original sin is washed away.

Baptism is the first of the three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation.

If you would like to be baptized or desire to have your child baptized into the Catholic Church at St. Patrick Church, please call the parish office at (641) 357-3214 and we would be ​most welcome to assist you!
