Did you know that it is possible to celebrate baptisms at Christ the Redeemer?

Baptism is the sacrament that welcomes individuals into the Church and makes them children of God. It is the first and most important step in the Christian journey. In its two-thousand-year-old tradition, the Catholic Church administers this sacrament to all who request it — from early childhood to adulthood for those who have not yet been baptized.

For the baptism of children (from birth up to 7 years of age), it is necessary to complete the registration by filling out the form below. Currently, the Sanctuary does not administer baptisms for adults.

After submitting the form, you will receive an automatic email with a baptism protocol number starting with the letters BAT. Shortly after, our team will contact you to confirm the availability of the requested date and provide further guidance on the process.

Sobre os padrinhos:

The selection of godparents must follow specific criteria established by the Code of Canon Law (Can. 874):

  • Must be designated by the child’s parents;
  • Must be at least sixteen years old;
  • Must be Catholic (i.e., have received the Sacraments of Christian Initiation).

After choosing the desired date, we will check availability.
