Baptism is the foundation of the whole of Christian life. It is the gateway to life in the Holy Spirit and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Baptism is a one-off event and anyone who has not previously been baptised may seek Baptism. Through Baptism a person is reborn as a daughter or son of God. It is through Baptism that an individual begins his or her formal relationship with Jesus Christ and the Church.

The phrase to baptise means to "plunge" or "immerse". The immersion in water, or alternatively the pouring of water over the person's head, symbolizes the baptised person's union with the death of Jesus. Just as Christ was raised from the dead, the baptised person arises from the water as a "new creature", a member of the Church.

Baptism consists of a person's immersion in water three times or of the pouring of water over the person's head three times, reciting the words, "I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

There are a few occasions in ones life when you might be asked to provide a copy of your Baptism Certificate. Typically these are starting school, getting confirmed or getting married. If you are asked to be a godparent or Confirmation sponsor, it is possible that you may be asked to provide proof of your own Baptism.

These are ideal records to keep, for your own or others Baptism
