If you've had one child christened the priest will sign teh forms to have the second child enrolled at Catholic school even before you christen them - by christening one you show intent to do the same with subsequent children]]> Sat, 24 Mar 2007 12:34:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=122090&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#122090 <![CDATA[what happens at a catholic baptism : still thinking about that champagne...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121970&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121970 Author: peanut butter

I went to a babies catholic baptisim last year. (my cousin)

Other than providing all the nibbles after mum didn't have to do anything. (oh bring a towel for after the blessing with the holy water)

It is the named god parents who get up with the baby and have her blessed.

I was only a non catholic by stander so I am sure someone will be more specific.

Emma (Maya) is Catholic, and I'm fairly sure she's had all her girls christened. If she doesn't notice this thread herself, maybe try PMing her. ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 08:25:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121668&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121668 <![CDATA[what happens at a catholic baptism : Valid options Monique and I may...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121662&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121662 Author: peanut butter

Valid options Monique and I may have to do that but I thought I would sound out the experience of all these wise women....I may even get the catholic and the noncatholic opinions....the "how to survive a baptism" story (no offence meant to anyone here ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 08:12:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121662&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121662 <![CDATA[what happens at a catholic baptism : oh Im not sure dont they jsut...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121660&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121660 Author: MyMinis

oh Im not sure dont they jsut do christenings with the priest and the water?? I dont think the mother really ahs to do anything?
I have been to an adult baptism before but never a babies christening.
why not ask his mum? she should understand if your not a part of the same religion.
Or go to the church and ask the priest Im sure he would be more than willing to answer ny questions you have.]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 08:09:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121660&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121660 <![CDATA[what happens at a catholic baptism : Hi, I know I am getting well ahead...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121651&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121651 Author: peanut butter

Hi, I know I am getting well ahead of myself but I like to thoroughly prepare myself. DF is catholic and it is important to him that our child be baptised after it is born. I have no religious background whatsoever but feel if it is important to him I dont mind.

But.....what happens? What do I have to do as mother? etc.....HELP!!! ]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 07:35:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6315&PID=121651&title=what-happens-at-a-catholic-baptism#121651
