Baptism and Christening 101

Question by ~~Daniel’s Mommy~~: How old was your baby when they were Christened?
Seeing another question about Christening made me remember something I had wanted to ask.

How old was your baby when they were Christened? My son is 8 months old. I want to have him Christened Catholic, which isn’t a problem for my husband who doesn’t follow a specific religion. The problem is our wedding isn’t blessed under the catholic religion and since we don’t go to church they can’t do it for us.
We are planning on getting all this done before he is a year old. Is that too old? Or does it really matter do you think?
Oh, and another problem we have run across is my husband has only 2 catholic relatives who I would like to ask to be God parents, but they live far away and never know when they can take a trip…so this is another reason we have been holding off.
And all my Catholic relatives/friends live on the other side of the country….

Question by Pixie: What should my son wear to be christened?
We are having our 7 month old son christened and rather than dress him in a christening gown because we didn’t have one to fit him, we decided to dress him in a shirt and tie and trousers which are not white. We have a white christening shawl, so do you think this would
be ok?

It would be perfect. Just have a back up outfit because murphy’s law says he’ll puke.

NOT quite a record – there were 10 Christenings in St Ninian's Church on Sunday morning. TODAY is being observed as Victoria Day in Gourock.
