"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them
to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." MT 28:19-20 Infant baptism is a sign
of God’s desire to give us “more than all we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). Obviously, the tiny baby cannot ask for or even imagine the richness
of new life in God. It is a gift, one so precious that, by its very nature, it calls for a response. In the case of infant baptism, the immediate response of joy,
gratitude and commitment is offered by the parents, the godparents and the entire Christian community.

We, as Church, believe it is our duty to offer you, as parents, the opportunity to fully understand the commitment you are undertaking for your child and yourselves through the Sacrament of Baptism.
