Baptism

“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons 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.’” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1213)

Many Catholics receive the sacrament of baptism as infants, in the presence of his or her parents and godparents. Through the saving waters of baptism, Catholics believe that we are washed clean from the stain of original sin (caused by the sin of Adam and Eve). The grace we receive in baptism also makes us children of God the Father and welcomes us into the Catholic Church.


How To Plan Your Baby's Baptism

There are different instances in which Baptism is sought:

  • For an infant or young child (up to age 6) please see the infant baptism section.
  • For a child over the age of 6, or a teen, please see the PREP/RCIC section.
  • For an adult, please visit the RCIA Ministry Page.

We ask that families presenting their children for baptism be registered members of our parish. If you have not yet had the chance to register, please contact the office. After registering, or if you are already registered, contact the parish office for more information about the process for preparation and celebration of the Sacrament. You may contact the parish office by phone at 604-531-5739 or by email at [email protected].
