Welcome to the Sacrament of Baptism

Baptism is the first step in the journey of faith—a sacred sacrament through which we are cleansed of sin, reborn as children of God, and welcomed into the Christian community. At Fond du Lac Cathedral, we are honored to be part of this profound and joyous occasion for you and your family.


Infant and Child Baptism

For families seeking baptism for their child, we offer a welcoming and faith-filled process to prepare parents and godparents for this sacred commitment. Our baptismal preparation sessions provide guidance on the meaning of the sacrament and the responsibilities of raising a child in the Christian faith.


Requirements for Infant Baptism:

  • At least one parent must be a practicing Christian.
  • Godparents must be baptized, confirmed, and practicing Christians.
  • Parents must attend a pre-baptismal preparation session.
