Baptism
Font
The path to the Eucharist
passes through the waters of baptism. St. Francis' was without a baptismal
font since some time after the arrival of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation
in 1929 because it than became a shrine of eucharistic devotion instead
of a parish church. Vatican II has forged again for us the link between
baptism and eucharist. For this reason, and in memory of Blessed Mary
MacKillop who was baptised here, this new font has been installed.
