NEW BAPTISM POLICY FOR SACRED HEART KOORINGAL

  

Baptism is one of the most important activities of any Christian parish. It is the doorway for the baptised to begin their life in the church and to see themselves as sons and daughters of God. It is essential that this event be linked to the life and rhythm of the parish. To ensure a greater connection between the person being baptised and the Sacred Heart Parish, the following changes will be implemented to the way baptisms are prepared and conducted. 

  • Parent(s) of the child being baptised will need to attend a baptism preparation session. This occurs on the second Saturday of the month at 9am at Our Lady of Fatima. 
  • Parent(s) can choose to have their child baptised either in one of the weekend masses or at 12pm on Sunday. This is to emphasise that baptism is a communal church event and not a private one. 
  • Parent(s) choosing the 12pm baptism will need to present their child for baptism at a weekend mass prior to the baptism date. 

This is a change from the current baptismal practice at the Sacred Heart Parish. There will be a transitional period while the present system changes over to the new policy. This new policy streamlines baptisms to allow for greater flexibility for the priests in our new Parish Administration. If anyone has any questions, please contact Fr Paddy at olofparishsouthwagga@gmail.com.
