Message from the Parish:
CAN YOU HELP WELCOME NEW PARENTS SEEKING BAPTISM FOR THEIR INFANTS?
There are around 200 young infants each year in the Bayside Catholic Mission (BCM) whose parents want them to be Baptised. Their parents can register their interest on the BCM website outlining family details, when and at which church they would like their child to receive the sacrament of Baptism.
The preparation process is for the families to attend one of the presentation Masses which are held monthly (initially on Sunday at Stella Maris Church) and are followed by a welcoming Morning Coffee and a brief outline of parish life and the background to the sacrament.
Our BCM priests are seeking the assistance of 4 or 5 parents from each school community to assist in welcoming these parents into the life of their chosen school and parish. The priests are hoping that from the seven primary schools in the Mission around 30 generous volunteers will come forward. The resulting commitment from each volunteer would be to be rostered 2 or 3 times a year for the morning coffee session, chatting about how the school and parish communities work, and then to stay in contact 3 or 4 new families for a couple of months until the Baptisms occur.
If you can help or have any questions, please contact the Parish Office on 9593 1703 or Jim Smith (the Sacred Heart representative on the BCM Formation Team) on 0417 343 739. Thank-you
