The Sacrament of Baptism for infants

Baptism is the door to all the other Sacraments. Through Baptism, a person is made a son or daughter of God, a brother or sister of the Lord Jesus Christ, a Temple of the Holy Spirit, a member of the Communion of Saints and integrated into the Church. People who are baptized can then receive all the other sacraments in due course.

We are thrilled you are looking into having a baptism for your child here. Below are the simple steps you can take to make that a reality. Please note that infant baptism is only possible if the child is 4 years old and younger.
