* How much:
Non-refundable PHP3,000 (for parishioners and non-parishioners)
* Rating: ★★★★☆
* Points to consider:
- Staff was friendly.
- Reservation was easy. Just bring in the complete requirements.
- Beautiful church with a beautiful garden. Perfect for photo shoots.
- Ceremony was solemn.
- I love the priest who was assigned to us -- our godparents were late, but he didn't scold, he was really patient the whole time. And when the ceremony ended, he congratulated us and let us took a photo with him. So unlike the priest during my son's baptism.
- Their baptistry is not that well-lighted compared to other churches.
* Important!
- Reserve your date as early as possible.
- Clothing the baptismal garment is part of their ceremony. Towards the end of the ceremony (I think), the priest will ask you to put on the garment, so do not come in with your baby wearing the baptismal gown.
- What to wear before the ceremony until the clothing part? Anything decent actually.
- To reserve, call or e-mail to ask for availability of your chosen date. They don't accept online payments; yes, you have to personally go to their office to submit the requirements and pay in full. Your date will only be blocked after completing the requirements and payment.
- They will provide ONE candle.
- They don't require you to attend any seminar. Although, they will ask for a letter from your parish church for non-parishioners.
- Baptism Schedule:
- Every afternoon of Saturday and Sunday: 1:30 P.M./2:15 P.M./3:00 P.M./3:45 P.M.
- Monday to Friday: (provide your own priest) 10:15 A.M./11:00 A.M./2:15 P.M./3:00 P.M./3:45 P.M.
- Requirements:
- Photocopy of Birth Certificate
- Permission letter from your respective parish (the nearest church where the family resides)
