Baptisms

Holy Baptism is the sacrament by which God adopts us as his children and makes us members of Christ's Body, the Church, and inheritors of the kingdom of God.

We love baptisms! We regard baptism as a holy mystery, a gift from God, one whose meaning we can understand but whose full significance is beyond our complete understanding. Through this sacrament, the Cathedral joyfully welcomes children, youth, and adults into the life of Christ and the fellowship of the Church.

Baptisms are celebrated during the Sunday Holy Eucharist on designated feast days throughout the year.  Those wishing to have a child baptized should contact Lynn Wilmoth, lwilmoth@cathedralATL.org or 404-365-1082. Parents of infants and young children are required to attend a baptismal workshop, and godparents (sponsors) are also encouraged to attend.

Adults and adolescents seeking baptism should contact the Rev. Canon Salmoon Bashir, sbashir@cathedralATL.org to begin their preparation.
