"Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ and made sharers in her mission..."
Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
Nativity celebrates Baptisms at time arranged between the family and Father Eric, generally on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Families who have already attended preparation sessions need not attend again; please email Fr Eric freric@nativityindy.org to schedule your son/daughter's baptism.
To attend a prep session your family must be registered parishioners at Nativity, and we would like to invite you to get involved in the life of the parish. Please contact the parish office to register 317-357-1200 and please peruse our Stewardship page under our Ministries section of our website for opportunities available to our parishioners.
