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, no. 1213).
Baptisms are held on Saturday’s at 2pm, by appointment and in one church only (maximum of two Baptisms on Saturday’s, first booking will determine which Church the Baptism will take place in.)
At least two weeks’ notice should be given by completing the simple form below which you can print off and return to the office or by calling to the Parish Office, Parochial House, Kiltoom 090 64 89105.
Baptism’s will be confirmed by the Parish Office once booking form is received. The Baptism is not officially booked until you hear back from the Parish Office.
Child’s birth certificate must be forwarded to the Parish Office also before the Baptism.
If you live outside the Parish of Kiltoom & Cam, a letter of freedom from your Parish Priest must also accompany your child’s birth certificate.
Adults seeking Baptism should contact the Parish Office on 090 6489105 as there is a special course for adults seeking Baptism.
