Request for Infant Baptism

Welcome to the parish community at St Michael's Cathedral.

As we work together to arrange your child’s baptism, it would be of great assistance if you fill out and submit the form below.

We provide Baptism preparation by personal appointment. Sometimes the baptism of a child can be the occasion for pastoral discussions around marriage and other sacramental needs, so we encourage you to use the occasion for your spiritual benefit.

One parent need to be a Catholic
One godparent need to be a Catholic
Only two godparents shall be listed on the registry and the certificate

To help us maintain our historic Cathedral, there is a customary offering or donation of your choice. We will provide you with a beautiful Baptismal Candle, the lasting sign of the spiritual gift of faith, which “is to be kept burning brightly” (Ceremony of Baptism). Beautiful, personalised Baptismal Candles may also be ordered online through an Albury based business at sacredcandles.com.au. At least one “godparent” is chosen and should be a baptised, active Catholic. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us on (02) 69212164 from 9am to 1pm Mondays to Fridays.

— Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr Sean Byrnes ADM.
