Baptism Request Form
We understand that Baptism establishes a bond between our child and God, and thereby links our child with all others who are his followers.
We understand that Baptism initiates our child into the Community of Believers who follow Jesus Christ and that community on the local level is the parish church community.
Our request for lawful Baptism implies that we as parents wish our child to be raised believing and living the values of the Christian community called the Catholic Church which says:
“It is required that there be a well founded hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic religion. If such hope is truly lacking the baptism is to be deterred and the parents advised of the reason for this.”
As members of that church we believe all that Christ taught us and we wish to pass on to our child the faith that is ours, and so we will try to set an example of true Catholic living. We know that the church encourages parents to promote prayers at home and obliges them to attend Mass on Sundays as an integral part of their Catholic lifestyle. We understand that Baptism of our child is the first step in a lifetime of faith and that in due time our child will mature through the reception of other Sacraments - Reconciliation - Eucharist and Confirmation.
We the parents request that our child receive the Sacrament of Baptism.
Baptisms are held on the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 11:30 am
