- Baptism
-
"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."
(Catechism of the Catholic Church n. 1213)
Baptisms are celebrated on the second and fourth Sundays
of the month after the 10:00am Mass.
Please contact the Parish Office
to begin the
preparation for Baptism. Please note: minimum 3 weeks notice.
A home visit to the family
will be
arranged where the meaning of baptism
is discussed and the symbols used in baptism are
explained.
The family then attends the Welcoming Mass which is an
introduction to our church community. The child is
anointed with the oil of the Catechumen as a sign of
strengthening for the journey. The family is presented
with a candle and stole to be used at the baptism. The
family is now formally prepared for their baptism ceremony.
