Baptism

BAPTISMS AT ST. MARY'S WILL BE EVERY SECOND MONTH STARTING JANUARY:

JANUARY, MARCH, MAY, JULY, SEPTEMBER, & NOVEMBER. 

Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation into the Catholic Church. It is an important and essential sacrament upon which our entire Christian lives are built. Christ comes to your child through the invitation of the parents through the Church in the sacrament which opens them up to life in Christ. They receive the Holy Spirit and become members of the Church. 

You may have your child baptized at St. Mary’s Parish if: 

you live within the parish boundaries of Collingwood OR 

live outside of St. Mary’s parish boundaries but are already a member here by regular Mass attendance and are already known by the parish priest, Fr. Charles Forget.
