Deeply rooted in God, country and family,
the Community of St. Anthony of Padua in Bayou Black continues to be a sturdy shelter for all
Baptisms are celebrated on the last Sunday of each month. Parents and godparents are required to attend the Baptismal Seminar held at the Parish Center on the first Saturday of each month. Please contact the Parish Office to register in advance.
"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the doorwhich 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 and in the word.'” CCC 1213
