Catholic Baptism Ceremonies are religious ceremonies done to cleanse our spirits and become part of Christ. Before the celebration, the parents of the child must choose their respective godparents which are chosen to be the next parents who can guide the godchild from religious education. The short church mass is held which serves as an orientation for the family, godparents, and parents. After the homily, the holy water is poured on the head of the infant and the father saying the words “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” as a sign of cleansing his or her spirit. As a tradition from most Filipinos after baptismal celebrations, Filipinos prepared banquets for their guests. Baptism Ceremonies are important for Filipino Catholics because it is a step for welcoming the infants to being a Catholic.
