During this meeting you will be able to register your details for baptism, choose a tentative baptism date, and clarify any questions you may have.
Please consider choosing a christian name for the child or at least find out the christian meaning of or significance of the name you have chosen. Before choosing godparents, please familiarise with the guidelines of the church, that is same as in choosing the sponsor for the sacrament of confirmation.
It is important to have both parents attend the meeting and other preparation or formation sessions.. We have a range of meeting times to make this possible for your family's schedule.

What's Next? - Living and Growing with the Faith Community
What's Next? - Living and Growing with the Faith Community
Remember our life as Catholics is living according to the faith and tradition received from the apostles o Jesus. It is accepting Jesus as Son of God and Son of Man, risen from the dead and is present in our life today; it is celebrating Him in the sacred traditions of the sacraments with the community, particularly the Holy Eucharist on Sundays; it is listening to God speaking through the Scriptures and the teachings of the Church; and living our lives guided by the moral and ethical teachings on love and relationship, respecting life and its dignity, ensuring justice, and being charitable to those most in need. This is the faith of the Church we want live and the children to grow up with.
It means also staying connected to your parish, our faith community and celebrating together every weekend the Eucharist. Bring your children to the church, even if they are a bit noisy or restless. Keep this as a priority and let us all grow united in faith and love.
Children are welcome at all Masses before and after their baptism. Kiddies have a Corner at the back of the Engadine church, offering more space and boxes of books for your children to enjoy. There is Children's Liturgy on Sundays of School term at 9.30am for children of school age. Help children who have received holy communion to attend the whole Mass. For teens and older children our Youth Mass is every Sunday evening at 5pm at Engadine.
We also encourage you to connect to one of our Parish Groups and become involved in our faith community.
