Baptisms

The Time and Place for Baptism

The Episcopal service in The Book of Common Prayer calls for a service of Holy Baptism to be (a) public, (b) held within the individual’s local congregation and (c) held on one of the five principal occasions in the life of the Church.

​We welcome all who wish to be baptized into the Body of Christ at St. Margaret’s, and we will make every effort to make you feel comfortable as an active member of our faith community.
 
Choosing Sponsors(or Godparents)

Sponsors are usually baptized, active members of a Christian community. Traditionally, two or three sponsors are chosen.

Pre-baptismal Formation

To enhance your experience of St. Margaret’s, this one-time class will prepare you for the baptism service and for participation in Christ’s Body, the Church. This instruction usually takes place before the baptism date on a Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to noon in the sanctuary. You do not have to take the class if you have already had a child baptized at St. Margaret’s.

For questions, contact the Rev. Peter W. Mayer, Rector, at peter@st-margarets.org or leave him a message on our office line (410-974-0200).
