This ministry seeks to fulfill the Great Commission to "go, therefore, and baptize all nations in the Name of" our Triune God, "teaching them all that [Jesus] commanded" (Matt 28:19).  This ministry works with those who have never been baptized; Catholics who were baptized but did not receive the other Sacraments of Initiation; and non-Catholic Christians who were baptized in other denominations but need the other Sacraments of Initiation.  This is generally a 1-year process but can take longer.  Sometimes, other issues may reside in a person's heart or life - such as previous marriages that need an annulment - need to be reconciled before receiving other Sacraments.  However, those who seek a deeper communion with God and His Church should seek continually to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ on a spiritual and sacramental basis.
