Baptism and Chrismation

In the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, a person is incorporated into the crucified, resurrected, and glorified Christ and is reborn to participate in the divine life. Baptism is necessary for salvation (Mark 16:15-16) and in accordance with Holy Tradition, must be performed by triple immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20), according to the rubrics in the Prayer Book. It is conferred only once.

If you or your child would like to be baptized into the Greek Orthodox Faith, please contact our church office by calling 773.525.1793, or by emailing office@stgeorgechicago.net.
