The Sacrament of Baptism

Baptism is a sacred sacrament in the Catholic Church through which a person is initiated into the Christian faith. It involves the pouring of water or immersion, symbolizing the cleansing of sin and the person's rebirth in Christ. Baptism is the first of the seven sacraments and is considered necessary for salvation, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith and spiritual growth within the Church. Through Baptism, individuals are united with the Body of Christ, become members of the Church, and receive the Holy Spirit. It is typically administered to infants, children, or adults, and is a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ.

IMPORTANT: ALL documents/requirements must be completed to reserve a Baptism date at St. Margeret's Catholic Church.

Application For Baptism 

Both parents and Godparents must attend a one-hour session with the Parish’s adult catechist two weeks before the Baptism. (A list of available appointments will be provided).

 

I promise to bring my child up in the Catholic Faith and understand that at least one Godparent must be a practising Catholic. I also agree to have an appointment with the Parish Priest to prepare for the baptism and appreciate what is involved.

I give consent for the name of my child to be published in the ‘Congratulations’ section of the Parish Newsletter

Thanks for submitting!
