Your child is precious to you and precious to God. In Baptism (sometimes called ‘Christening’), parents thank God for his gift of life, make a decision to start the child on the journey of faith and ask for the Church's support.
The Church believes that God loves everyone, so anyone can have their child baptised regardless of their background.
