    • About Baptism

      Taken from the Archdiocese of Toronto website: 

      Baptism is one of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church; frequently called the "first sacrament" as it is the gateway to the rest of the sacraments.

      Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of the mystical body of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word. (CCC: 1213)"

      In the Western or Latin Church, baptism is usually conferred by an authorized minister by pouring water three times on the recipient's head, while reciting the baptismal formula: "I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (cf. Matthew 28:19).

    • Baptisms at St. Mary Star of the Sea

      The St. Mary Star of the Sea parish family awaits with joyful anticipation to welcome you or your child into our spiritual family! 

      If you are a parent looking to baptize your child, you should be registered and practicing parishioners at our parish.  You can register at our parish by visiting our New Parishioners page and filling in the form. Next, fill out the online form by clicking on "Baptism Registration Form". Email the completed form along with your baptismal certificate* and your child's birth certificate to Adriene at [email protected]

      *Please note, if both parents are Catholic, the FATHER'S baptismal certificate should be submitted. If only one parent is Catholic, please submit the Catholic parent's certificate. 

      SCHEDULING BAPTISM DATES 

      We ask that parents who are looking to baptize their child go through a three part preparation process to deepen your understanding of baptism and the beautiful but important responsibilities that come along with it. We also expect that regular Sunday Mass attendance be a priority during this time. Please allow between 6-8 weeks for adequate review and completion of the preparation before considering a date. Please also note that specific baptism dates cannot be guaranteed. 

      Baptism dates are not given until adequate preparation has been completed. 

      If you are looking to be baptized Catholic, please see R.C.I.A. for more information. 

       For general inquiries about baptism at our parish, please contact Adriene via email [email protected] or by phone 905-278-2058 ext 803.
