The Sacrament of Baptism

“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 sons 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.”

~ Catechism of the Catholic Church #1213

Celebrating the Sacrament of Baptism at Saint Olaf

Please contact Father Andrzej three months prior to baptism.  Parents desiring baptism of their children are expected to be registered in the parish and to have completed a baptism preparation class.

Click here for the Godparent Eligibility Form (or find it below.)

The church requires preparation for parents desiring baptism for their child.  This preparation offers them the opportunity to reflect on their understanding of the sacrament of Baptism and to deepen their family's commitment to a Christian way of life.

Saint Olaf will hold the next baptism preparation class for parents and godparents after we have received inquiries. Call the parish office at 801-295-3621 if interested.

Fill out the baptismal registration form below and call the office to sign-up before the class. If you will be a godparent, you just need to call the office to sign-up. You MUST sign up so we know to have someone available to teach the class.

Adults wishing to be baptized or become Catholic should inquire about the Order of Christian Initiation (OCIA) by contacting Evan Fisher or Kevin Cummings at StOlafOCIA@gmail.com or the church office.  

OCIA includes the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. The initiation of adults is a gradual process that takes place within the community of the faithful.
