Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God and are made members of the Church and sharers in its mission. Infant Baptisms (Birth to Grade 2) are available at Sacred Heart, St Mary's and St Thomas the Apostle communities on Sundays at either 11.30am or 12.00pm.

There may be a waiting list of 3-6 months to have your child baptised.

You will first meet with the Baptismal Preparation Group who will welcome you into the Parish and explain all aspects of the Sacrament. The Right of Welcome occurs at Mass on either the Saturday or Sunday immediately following the Preparation Meeting where all the Baptism families will be warmly welcomed into our Parish Community.

To make a booking please contact the Parish Office during normal Parish hours or send our Parish Secretaries an email at: diamondvalley@cam.org.au
