The Essence of this Sacrament

Baptism is the birth of a new life in Christ. Through baptism, one becomes an adopted daughter or son of God, a temple of the Holy Spirit, a member of the Church, the body of Christ.

Receiving the Sacrament of Baptism

The Basilica’s pastoral team is happy to accompany your children in this important stage of their Christian life.

These are community baptisms (a maximum of four children per ceremony). Private baptisms can exceptionally be celebrated; call us for more information.

You and the priest agree on the date of the baptism and the preparatory meeting. The parents, as well as the godparents, must be present at this preparatory meeting. The baptism and meeting are offered in French or English. The godparents must be Catholic, baptized and confirmed.

For more information, please contact Daniela Staffa by e-mail at dstaffa@fabriquenotredame.ca or call 514-842-2925, extension 224.

Celebrate Important Moments

Funérailles

The priest welcomes the bereaved family to accompany them and be a bearer of hope. Together, they prepare a meaningful celebration for those who have lost a loved one.

Anointing of the Sick

The anointing of the sick is especially intended to comfort those who are afflicted by illness.

Confession

The sacrament of confession demonstrates the desire to change things in one’s life. In particular, to allow oneself to be touched by the mercy of God, who welcomes through confession.

Mass

Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life.

Marriage

On your wedding day, before your parents and friends and in the presence of God, you commit yourself to create with your spouse a true community of life and love.
