“You are my beloved child. With you, I am well pleased.” — Mark 1:11
Welcome to the Sacrament of Baptism
We’re so glad you’re here. Baptism is the first step on the lifelong journey of faith—it is how we are welcomed into God’s family, receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and begin a new life in Christ.
Whether you’re preparing for your first child or returning to celebrate this sacrament again, we are honoured to accompany you.
When Are Baptisms Celebrated?
Baptisms are celebrated during Mass on the 4th weekend of each month (Saturday evening or Sunday morning), so that the whole parish community can welcome your child in faith.

If you would like to register your child for Baptism, please fill out the form by clicking HERE. A member of our Pastoral Team will be in touch with you. You may also call the parish office at (519) 682-1102.
Baptism Preparation
To prepare for your child’s baptism in our Family of Parishes, you’ll be asked to:
- Attend a short preparation session
- Watch a few brief online videos
- Participate in a meeting (in person or virtual) with our team
What Baptism Means
Baptism is more than a tradition—it’s a sacrament of new life. In baptism, your child becomes a temple of the Holy Spirit and a member of the Body of Christ. As parents and godparents, you promise to raise your child in the Catholic faith. As a Church, we promise to support you on that journey.
