In Baptism, we receive new life in Christ. Baptism takes away original sin and gives us a new birth in the Holy Spirit. Its sign is the pouring of water.
 
If you would like to have your child baptized, or if you yourself would like to be baptized into the Church, we are happy to help! Call the Parish Office at 570-823-7736 for more information ​regarding our Infant Baptism program or our adult RCIA program.

"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.”

(Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1213).
