Baptism Registration

Thank you!
Congratulations on deciding to baptize your child!

A vital part of living your faith life is attending Mass.  The Mass schedule for our parish can be found here: esscatholic.ca/mass-times

We are deeply committed to helping your child and your family grow in faith and in understanding God’s great love for us.  You will receive information about baptismal preparation by email once you have registered.  If you have any questions please feel free to email our Pastoral Minister, Dianne O’Neill at [email protected].
