The Sacrament of Baptism

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 children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission:

"Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."

Baptism of your child ideally takes place within the first few months after birth, but can happen later.

We are delighted that you are seeking baptism for your child with our parish.

​

Baptism Schedule

​​

Over the summer months we take a break from Baptisms and start up again in the Fall.

The Baptism schedule for September 2024 to June 2025 will soon be finalized and posted on this page.

Please check back in a few weeks for information for Baptisms for that timeframe.
