BAPTISM
by Elise & Abby
What is Baptism?
|
Baptism is the first sacrament on initiation and is usually celebrated in a church as a mass. Baptism allows an individual to join the catholic community and is necessary for them to receive salvation and be free from the effects of sin. You can be baptised at any age although only once by either a priest, bishop or deacon.

Why do we Baptise?We baptise because Jesus was baptized. He asked his disciples to be baptized. He asked his disciples to baptize others who believed in Him. When we love him we want to follow him and do what he commands us to do. He commands that everyone who chooses to follow him and to call themselves “Christian” should be baptized.
