Worship God in spirit and truth through "prayer without ceasing," and particularly through the celebration of the Eucharist and the other sacraments of the Church;
​

​Adorar a Dios en espíritu y verdad mediante la "oración, orad sin cesar", y particularmente mediante la celebración de la Eucaristía y los demás sacramentos de la Iglesia;
​
In Baptism, we are born “Through water and the Spirit…  from above” (Jn 3:5), and we become “God’s beloved”    child (from Mt 4:17). We are “saved”, and receive eternal life.  As we go down under the water, we die to self, and as we rise out of the water, we rise to new life with Christ.
NOTE: IF YOUR CHILD IS 7+ YEARS, THE CHILD MUST REGISTER FOR RELIGIOS EDUCATION ​FOR PREPARATION OF BAPTISM.

NOTA: SI SU HIJO/A TIENE 7Años o mas, nino/a debe registrarse en el programa de educacion religiosa para ser preparado para el butismo.

Dear Parents, these are the guidelines for obtaining the Sacrament of Baptism for Infants (newborns—age 6) at Jesus, Shepherd of Souls Parish.

We ask you to read it carefully and provide us with all information necessary as you prepare for the baptism of your child. All information needed is in conformity with the Guidelines for Infant Baptism for the Diocese of Chicago.

Baptism is no mere social convention, but the Sacrament in which Christ Himself purifies, justifies and sanctifies (cf. 1 Peter 1:23) your child for eternal life. We rejoice with you in the birth of your child and look forward to welcoming him into the family of God and the communion of the Holy Catholic Church.
