Welcome to St. Peter's Church and to this information site on Baptism in the Catholic Church.  Our Baptismal Co-ordinator is Father Waldemar Podlasz, SDS and he invites all parents to contact the parish office for information on our Baptism Preparation Program. 

This is the first step towards your children's Sacramental life in the Holy Catholic Church, and we at St. Peter's congratulate you on having made this important decision.

There are requirements in the Catholic Church that are to be met in order for a child to enter into the Sacrament of Baptism. We have Guidelines to help make the process as uncomplicated as possible. 

When you contact the office we will make a brief prelimenary appointment for you with Father Waldemar.  At this time he will gather the required information and supply you with a set of guidelines for baptism.  Your second appointment will be to take part in the Baptismal Preparation Program which parents and selected Godparents would attend.

We ask that you do not choose your Sponsors (the Godparents) before reading these Guidelines, or finalize plans as per dates etc.  This is to avoid conflicts that could arise from booking flights, accommodation, and a reception etc. ahead of time.  It is important that you allow at least three (3) months to prepare for the Baptism.
