Baptisms at St Mary's

Baptism is one of two sacraments of the Anglican Church, with the second being Holy Communion. A sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible grace.

Baptism is a symbol of God's love and acceptance, signifying the initiation of an individual into the Christian faith and the Church community. Through baptism, God's grace is bestowed upon the baptised person, cleansing them from sin and welcoming them into the Anglican community.

Baptism is regarded as a crucial step in one's spiritual journey within the Anglican tradition. It is an act of obedience to Jesus' command to baptise believers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). By participating in this sacrament, you are committing to living a life of faith and discipleship following Christ's teachings.

A person, especially if they were baptised as a baby, can confirm their commitment to the church through confirmation which allows them to participate in communion.

The St. Mary's community would feel truly blessed and overjoyed to be a part of your or your baby's baptism. As a close-knit and caring congregation, we understand the profound significance of this sacred event in the life of a Christian.

If you are considering a baptism, the St. Mary's community warmly welcomes your inquiry and looks forward to sharing in this meaningful occasion of faith and devotion with you.
