The Sacraments - Baptism

The Baptism of Christ, by Piero della Francesca, 1449

Infant baptism involves a genuine commitment of the parents to raise their child in the Catholic Faith.  Baptismal preparation is a wonderful and joyful opportunity for new parents to become acquainted with the theology of Baptism.  Baptism preparation classes for parents and godparents are held bi-monthly. We encourage participation in the preparation session before your child is born. Call Susan Wyatt (865) 690-7273 or knoxwyatt@knology.net to register for a class. Baptisms are not scheduled during Lent.
   
Adults who would like to be baptized are most welcome.  Call Marian Howard (865) 522-1508 or icaff@bellsouth.net for details.  Ask about the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) for non-Catholics.
