In the Episcopal tradition we believe that Holy Baptism is full initiation into Christ’s Body, the Church, by water and the Holy Spirit. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble.
At the Chapel of the Cross, the sacrament of Holy Baptism is offered to all—infants and adults—who have not yet been baptized and who wish to follow the way of Jesus through participation in the life of this parish.
