The Anglican Church of  St. John the Baptist, Cobble Hill, BC

Baptism Preparation Ministry

This usually takes place a few weeks before the baptism. During this three hour session further instruction on the meaning of baptism and the responsibilities of parents and godparents will be discussed, and a rehearsal of the service will take place.

When does baptism take place?
Baptisms take place during the church service. Usually infants are baptized at the 9:15 am service. As baptisms are public celebrations of the Church, they generally occur at times of great celebration in the Church Year, such as All Saints Day in early November, The Baptism of Jesus in early January, Easter Sunday, and on the festival of St. John the Baptist in June.

Is there a fee for baptism?
There is no fee. Once a person becomes a member of the Anglican Church of Canada, that person supports his/her parish with their time, talent and financial resources.
