The Sacrament of Baptism

The Sacrament of Baptism is the first of seven (7) sacraments. It is the initial welcome into the Catholic Church.

To have an infant and/or child up to the age of 6  baptized at the Church of Epiphany, please contact the parish office at 732-458-0220 to schedule a date and time.

Parish registration is required for all families wanting to have a child/children baptized. Parents are required to attend a Baptism Preparation Class.

Godparents need to obtain a Letter of Eligibility from their parish and have it sent to the Church of Epiphany.

Baptisms are scheduled the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Ceremonies follow the 10:30 AM Mass at 12:00 PM (Noon). Family, friends and guests are welcome to attend.

A Certificate of Baptism will be presented to each family after the ceremony.

Baptisms for children age 7 through 13 should contact the Religious Education Office for further information.

Baptisms for people age 14 years old through adulthood who are prepared to receive the Sacrament of Baptism will participate in The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) Program where they are introduced to the Roman Catholic faith and way of life.

Participants in the RCIA Program will attend weekly classes from October through Holy Week on Sunday mornings.
