CATHEDRAL HOURS “LET THE CHILDREN COME UNTO ME” WHY BAPTISM MATTERS CATHEDRAL CAMPUS Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is typically celebrated Saturday - Sunday 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. as the last Sunday Mass of the Christmas season. Because Offices, Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Christmas fell on a Sunday, the feast was transferred to this SUNDAY MASS past Monday. Given the recent events here with the new- Anticipatory (Saturday) 5:15 p.m. born, it is an opportune occasion to recall the significance Sunday 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., Noon, & 5:00 p.m. of this first . Firstly, there is no such thing as an DAILY MASS unwanted child. Period! As the Catechism of the Catholic Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. & 5:15 p.m. Church (CCC) states, “The Church does not know of any means other Saturday 8:00 a.m. than Baptism that assures entry into eternal beatitude; this is why she takes care not to neglect the mission she has received from the Lord to see SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION that all who can be baptized are ‘reborn of water and the Spirit.’” (CCC # Monday - Friday 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. 1257) Because baptism is “the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door Saturday 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. which gives access to the other ” (CCC #1213), we in the EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Church remind parents of their obligation to have their children baptized Tuesday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. shortly after birth (Code of Law, CIC 867, §1) ROSARY Baptism not only cleanses a person from sin (both original sin and any ac- Sundays at 11:15 a.m. in the Cana Chapel and at 6:00 p.m. in the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin tual sins the person may have committed) and makes that person an adopt- Weekdays at 4:50 p.m. in the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin ed son or daughter of God; the sacrament also confers upon the one bap- tized a new status as a member of Christ’s faithful, the Church.

WELCOME CENTER HOURS Many are surprised to learn this. The Rite of Baptism says, “All lay persons, Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. since they belong to the priestly people, and especially parents and, by rea- Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. son of their work, catechists, obstetricians, ... nurses of the sick, as well as GUIDED TOURS physicians and surgeons, should know the proper method of baptizing in Offered Tuesday-Friday at 1:00 p.m. (except on holy days cases of necessity” (Rite of Baptism, #17). and national holidays).

And (CIC # 870) further adds: “An abandoned infant or a found- ling is to be baptized unless diligent enquiry establishes that it has already U been baptized.” A lay person who administers an emergency baptism must at least have the intention to do what the Church does when baptizing. It is SUNDAY STEWARDSHIP also desirable that, as far as possible, one or two witnesses to the baptism be present.
