Baptism for children under 8 years of age
Baptism is the sacrament of becoming a Christian. For Catholics, it is the first step in a lifelong journey with the saving power of Christ. The new Christian is welcomed into the loving community both physically and spiritually. As your child grows, they will develop their understanding and character in a very real way through the love, guidance and example of those around them. This includes your family, godparents, and our parish community. Spiritually, Baptism is a sign of God's presence and a channel of God's blessing for your child.
We'd welcome any questions you may have about Baptism. Don't hesitate to contact us on 02 9876 2853 during business hours.

Baptism is celebrated on Sundays, sometimes within the celebration of Mass and sometimes after Mass, at 12:00 noon. We have two Churches in our parish: Our Lady Help of Christians in Epping and St Gerard's in Carlingford. The form below has easy dropdown options from which you can choose dates.
Once again, we look forward to being a part of this celebration with you, and we pray that it will be the beginning of a life-long journey of faith, hope and love for your child within our Catholic faith community.
