When I tried to obtain a Baptism greetings card I ran into difficulty. With just one exception all the cards available were "Christening" Cards. Our local church has no Repository. My view is that Christening happens when parents name their child, usually within hours of their birth. Indeed frequently parents have decided on a Christian name before the baby is born. Baptism is when the child is "Baptised" and formally admitted into membership of the Catholic Church. Also to remove the stain of original sin. I pose two queries. 1. Am I right in what I believe, or have members a different perspective? 2. How difficult have members found it to obtain Baptism Cards?
