Baptismal Promises• During the Baptismal ceremony, Baptismal Promises are made on behalf of the child that

is getting Baptised. They are based on the Apostles Creed and usually take place around the Baptismal Font, before the baptism with

water.

Baptism with Water• During the Baptism with water, the priest pours water of

the head of the person receiving the sacrament of Baptism. He will use the words

“I baptise you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

• Water is used as a sign of cleansing – symbolically meaning the person baptised is free from all sin.
