Baptism Program

Baptism of  infants and young children 


Baptisms are held on the fourth Sunday of each month, except August and December which are on the third Sunday and by appointment in January.

Baptisms can be held during mass, either Saturday 6pm or Sunday 8am or 11am, or at the 12.30pm ceremony.

Parents are expected to attend two preparation meetings on the first and second Wednesday of the month (except January). These are held at 7.30pm in the Monsignor Peter Jeffrey Centre (directly behind the Church).










 

Baptism of children in the grade 3 to 6 age group 

Baptism information is the same as for baptism of infants and young children.

Parents and children are to attend the two Wednesday evening meetings followed by a third session on a Sunday morning for the children at 9.30am in the Monsignor Peter Jeffrey Centre.

Contact the Parish office for current additional (third) meeting dates for children in this age group.

Children will then be baptised on the fourth Sunday of the month following their preparation (except for the months of August and December).

Children are then expected to continue with the Sacramental Program to be fully initiated into the Catholic Church.  They will receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy Communion at a special nominated Mass.
