SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Parents wishing to have their child baptized are to contact the parish through the Wing Chaplain’s Administrative Assistant at local 2490 at least two weeks prior to the desired date. After completing the request form, the dates for both the pre-baptismal session and the baptism will be booked. The pre-baptismal session is mandatory for both parents; however, god- parents (one of them at least must be RC) are invited to participate. Proxy might be an option if godparents cannot attend. For liturgical reasons and the baptism sacramental theology, baptisms are not celebrated during the Lent Liturgical Season. Civilian parents who wish to have their child baptized at our military facility must first contact their civilian parish (whether or not they are active at that parish) before contacting our chapel. As Our Lady of Peace belongs to the Military Diocese of Canada, a letter of canonical jurisdiction from your civilian pastor giving the reasons supporting your request will be needed. SACREMENT DU BAPTÊME A tous les parents désirant faire baptiser leur enfant, svp communiquez avec notre assistante de bureau au moins deux semaines avant la date désirée au poste 2490 pour entreprendre les démarches. Une rencontre est nécessaire avec le padré pour faire l’inscription. Il vous avisera de la date de la rencontre pré-baptismale obligatoire ainsi que de la date du baptême. Une rencontre pré-baptismale est obligatoire pour les deux parents (père et mère), tandis que les parrains sont invités à y participer. Au moins un des parrains doit être Catholique romain. Il est possible de désigner des mandataires si les parrains ne peuvent être présents. Pour des raisons liturgiques et de théologie sacramentelle, il n’y a pas de baptême célébré durant la période du Carême. Les parents civils qui souhaitent faire baptiser leur enfant à la chapelle de l’Escadre doivent contacter leur paroisse civile (étant pratiquants ou pas) avant de communiquer avec notre secrétariat. La communauté de chapelle Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix de la 8ième Escadre appartient à une juridiction canonique différente qui est celle du Diocèse militaire du Canada. Une lettre/courriel de délégation canonique de la part du prêtre de votre paroisse civile (appuyant votre démarche auprès de cette chapelle militaire) devra être envoyée à l’aumônier catholique de l’Escadre.
