Reconciliation

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.
