Jesus came and said to them, "All power has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go and make followers of all the nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to do all the things I have told you. And I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” - Matthew 28: 18-20

Having your child baptised is the most important things you can do for your child. It ushers them into the family of God, gives then sanctifying grace, and fulfills the commandment of Jesus himself.
Here in the Catholic Churches of West St. James Parish we use the Belonging preperation model. It consists of a single 90 minute interactive time of formation, followed up by a short video sent to your email for 10 consecutive weeks.
