"Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Luke 18:16

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit  and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."

Some non-Catholic Christians believe that Baptism is necessary and sets us free from sin. Many others think it is merely a symbol of one's desire to follow Christ, having no real effect upon the soul. The Catholic Church teaches that Baptism is both necessary for salvation and  regenerative, causing us to be reborn as children of God.

Through Baptism we receive the life-giving, sanctifying grace of the Holy Spirit.
