Why Baptism?

Baptism is recognition of God's welcome and love for us. It is one of the sacraments of the church: an outward physical sign of an inward spiritual grace. God is present in all our lives and loves every baby whether baptised or not. When you bring your child for Baptism we are celebrating their birth and also formally receiving them into God's family, the church. Here are some frequently asked questions about Baptisms at St Michael’s and All Angels.
