For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship.  As the first Sacrament of Initiation, Baptism is also the sign of a lifelong relationship with God and with the Church.
 

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism, we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.  Catechism of the Catholic Church 1213
