The celebration of Baptism draws us deeply into Christ and the Paschal mystery and grafts us onto the very roots of the Christian faith. As we dip our hands into the font and make the sign of the cross, there is a link made with the cleansing waters of baptism and continual cleansing, refreshment and renewal. The living (moving) water reminds is that we are made a people by water and the spirit, that we are always ready to receive new members. The upper pool is designed for infant baptism and the lower pool for adult immersion. The octagonal font beautifully conveys the new life of the baptized Christian - the eighth day is observed as the day of resurrection, the day beyond time. The font exterior is constructed of Minnesota limestone, the inner basin and pool of copper.
