The Sacrament of Baptism is one of the seven Sacraments instituted by God and administered by His Church. It is the first Sacrament we receive and is the celebration of giving new life in Christ and becoming a member of God’s family, the Church.
Baptism packages are available at the parish office during office hours or at all our Mass centres; Berry, Bomaderry, Culburra Beach, Kangaroo Valley, Nowra and Vincentia. (Not available online)
They are available from the priest after attending the Holy Mass either on a weekday or at the weekend. Later the duly filled form with the offering of the donation to be given to the parish office in person or email. After going through the forms, appointment will be given to the family depending on the date and church of baptism.
The family is given the choice depending on the church where the baptism takes place.
