Information about Catholic Baptisms in Florence

​

"The baptismal font illuminates all of our life, guiding our steps toward the Jerusalem in Heaven" - Pope Francis 

​

Baptism is the first of seven Sacraments that God has given to us as visible manifestations of his work and presence in our lives. Through the saving waters of baptism, we are washed clean from the stain of original sin. The grace we receive in baptism also makes us children of God the Father, welcomes us into the Catholic Church, and pours the Holy Spirit into our hearts. 

​

If you would like your child to be baptized at Santi Apostoli in Florence, there are just a few things the church will need from you.
