Dear Parents,

Congratulations on the birth of your child. Thank you for expressing your desire to have your child welcomed into God’s family through Baptism. The day of a child’s Baptism is a very important day in their life, because through Baptism we are incorporated into the God’s Church and are reborn as sons and daughters of God.

As it is a condition of Baptism that you promise to bring the baby up in the Catholic faith, at least one Godparent must be a Catholic. Normally parents choose 2 Godparents.

Baptisms are held the 2nd & 4th Sunday of the Month at 10:00am. Up to three families may have their Baptism in the same ceremony. Private Baptisms can be arranged at the time of booking.

Prior to the Baptism date, parents must attend a Baptism Preperation Evening with the Parish Priest. This meeting will explain the Sacrament and provides an opportunity to ask questions and find out what happens on the day. These evenings are held  the 3rd Thursday of the Month at 6:00pm.

There is no charge for Baptisms, however,  a donation to the Parish Priest & for the Church is customary and very much appreciated. Please place the donations in two separate envelope and hand them to the Priest on the day of the Baptism.

Baptisms need to be booked in and parents wishing to have their child/children Baptised, should also make a booking to attend one of the Baptismal Preparation Evenings.

Please call the Parish Office on 9294 3504 to book.
