“He who is in Christ is a new creature. For him the old things have passed away; a new world has come.” 
2 Corinthians 5:17

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 (children) of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 1213)

As a Catholic Community we celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism in the Old Mission on Saturday mornings (English and Spanish) and Sunday afternoons (Vietnamese).  With joy, we welcome into our Church the new members of our parish family.  Parishioners of San Gabriel Mission can visit the Parish Office,  call 626-457-3035,  or complete our contact form for additional information on our celebrations of the sacrament, including the schedule of required classes for parents and godparents.
