  • the sacrament of baptism

    Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. (John 3:5)

    Baptisms are held on the first Sunday of the month during a special 1:00pm mass. Parents wishing to have a child baptized at Visitation should be members of the parish. The parents of the child are also required to attend a baptismal class. Classes are held every other month, and times are available by calling the parish office.  

    To arrange and prepare for your child’s Baptism at Visitation Parish, please contact the parish office by calling 630-834-6700. 

  • baptism

  • Your baby’s baptism is a time for celebration and joy. It is the first and most important step you will take as Catholic parents in the life of faith of your child.

    Baptism is the first Sacrament of the Catholic church and initiates us into the Body of Christ – into His life, Death, and Resurrection. It is the essential sacrament in becoming a disciple of Christ and indelibly marks us as His. This sacrament is the essential prerequisite for all the others. Baptism is God’s way of showing love for each child. It is the sign that reminds us that we are loved and created in God’s own image. Through the waters of faith, your child is welcomed into God’s family.  


    The sacrament of baptism ushers us into the divine life, cleanses us from sin, and initiates us as members of the Christian community. It is the foundation for the sacramental life.

    At baptism, the presider prays over the water:

    Father, look now with love upon your Church, and unseal for her the fountain of baptism. By the power of the Holy Spirit give to this water the grace of your Son, so that in the sacrament of baptism all those whom you have created in your likeness may be cleansed from sin and rise to a new birth of innocence by water and the Holy Spirit. (Christian Initiation of Adults, #222A)
