How do I join the congregation?
Membership in the Church is conferred by the Sacrament of Baptism. Jesus commands us to “Baptize all nations in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (cf. Matthew 28: 19) Saint Thomas the Apostle parish invites everyone to Baptism and membership in the Church.
How do I bring a child for Baptism?
Please call the parish office to make an appointment for the Baptism. Contact the parish secretary at (773) 324-2626 or parishoffice@stapostleparish.org. Download a Baptism Request Form.
Baptisms are usually held after the 10:00 AM Mass on Sundays. If this is your first child being baptized, parents are asked to attend a short class explaining the meaning and importance of the sacrament of baptism for the child as they begin their life of faith.
How can I be Baptized?
