Our Services > Baptism
"Baptism is the foundational sacrament and the pre-requisite for all other sacraments. It unites us with Jesus Christ, incorporates us into His redemptive death on the Cross, thereby freeing us from the power of Original Sin and all personal sins, and causes us to rise with him to a life without end."

Infant Baptism
Infant baptism is for children up to 7 years of age. Parents who wish to have their child baptised are acknowledging that they have accepted that the child’s baptism is the start of a lifelong commitment and they, together with their child’s godparents, will be responsible for bringing the child up in the faith.
​
Children above age seven and above are assumed to have the use of reason. As such, the said child needs to receive faith formation before being baptised.
​
"Can. 97 §2. A minor before the completion of the seventh year is called an infant and is considered not responsible for oneself (non sui compos). With the completion of the seventh year, however, a minor is presumed to have the use of reason."
For children between 7-16 years (inclusive), please contact our Catechetical Coordinator at csi.catechetical@catholic.org.sg
