Catholic baptisms may be on any day, including Sunday. The only day that you may not have a Catholic baptism is during the Eastern Triduum which is Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday of Holy Week. If you pastor will not have baptisms on Sunday, that is a personal decision of his, most parishes do hold baptisms on Sunday, some of them even during Mass.

How long does the liturgical Christmas season last?
The liturgical season of Christmas lasts until the Baptism of the Lord. Epiphany is the first Sunday after January 1. The Baptism of the Lord is the first Sunday after Epiphany..AnswerEver hear of the 12 Days of Christmas? Yep, in the old calendar, the season lasted from 25 December until 6 January: 12 Days. Now, as in the above answer, the season ends on the The Baptism of the Lord, which is a Sunday, which means that it moves with the calendar year, so it is longer than that. This year it ends on the 13th of January, so it is 19 days.

What stages do you go through to become a Catholic?
The process necessary to become a Catholic takes different forms depending on the situation a person is in. Children under the age of seven become Catholic at their baptism, that they receive after their parents and God parents take a preparation class at a Catholic parish. Adults go through a process called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult). There is an RCIA form adapted for children older than seven. At the end of this process you receive the three sacraments of initiation which are Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion thus becoming Catholic. There is an exception for those non Catholics who have been baptized in other Christians denominations. If the church validate their baptism then after going through RCIA they become Catholic by just receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, and the other two sacrament of initiation which are confirmation and Holy Communion.
If I am a C of E can I get my child christened Catholic?
Baptism (or 'Christening') of a child is the sacrament whereby the child is welcomed into the Christian church worldwide, and not into any particular denomination. One is not baptised a 'Catholic' a 'Methodist' or an 'Anglican'. One is baptised a Christian. Some denominations practice baptism of children (most notably Catholics), some only have adult baptism (Baptists) and some baptise both (Anglicans, Methodists). Some denominations do not have baptism at all (eg Salvationists) but have their own welcoming ceremony instead. So it makes not a scrap of difference whether or not your child is baptised a Catholic or an Anglican (despite what your Catholic priest might say!) - one is baptised into the Christian Church first and foremost. (Note that the only problem would come if the church into which they were baptised wasn't orthodox Christian - such as the Mormon Church, but that was not the question posed by the asker). So, if a member of any Christian denomination says that his or her baptism ceremony is more valid that anyone elses is not only telling an untruth, but going against all that Jesus himself taught. Baptism of your child into the Christian Church is what is important. The style of service that is used is a matter of personal preference but comes a very poor second. The main problem with Catholic baptism is that the Roman Catholic church considers itself the one, true, church (cf the Pope's statement earlier in 2008) - as do, of course, the Mormons, Moonies, and Jehovah's Witnesses (who is right then??). This is despite the heresies that the Catholic Church maintains, including purgatory, limbo, praying to saints, over-adulation of the Virgin Mary, celibacy of the priesthood and the infallibility of the Pope, as just a few examples, none of which are scriptural, and many of which are actually condemned (such as contacting the dead by praying to dead saints) by the Bible and stated in the Bible as abhorent to God. The Catholic excuse that these doctrines have been 'revealed' through tradition (similar to the heretical doctrines that have crept into, by revelation' what we regard nowadays as sects, and, if not based on the Bible and what scripture teaches, can be regarded as no more than vain invention by man). There is even a movement in the Catholic Church of making Mary 'co-redemptrix' with Jesus - ie also responsible for Human salvation, which goes contrary to all the Bible teaches. The Catholic Church, whilst still maintaining the arrogant view that it is still the 'one, true' church despite all these heresies and more, regards all other churches as other 'religions' despite the fact that the Catholic church is as far removed from the original Christian Church as many of the most heretical sects thoughout the last 2000 years. Thus, the Catholic Church will regard, wrongly, that baptism into the Catholic Church is the only true baptism, and that all true baptism is really Catholic baptism, despite the fact that other denominations practice valid baptism into the worldwide Christian Church. Baptism is a sacrament given to us and instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, and not invented by the Catholic Church. So, what is important is baptism per se, not baptism in any particular denomination of church. Therefore for any deomination to suggest that its baptism is 'better' or 'more valid' or 'truer' than any other, or that its baptism is the baptism of the 'true' church is actually the height of arrogance, contrary to scripture, and rather abhorrent to God. === === You can have your child baptized in the Catholic Church provided you supply Catholic godparents who will raise the child according to the Catholic Faith. The Catholic Church believes in only one baptism: any valid baptism is a Christian baptism and since the Catholic Church identifies itself as the true Christian Church, any valid baptism is a Catholic baptism, regardless of the minister - even an atheist or someone in horrible mortal sins can validly baptize another in an emergency, and this baptism makes the soul a member of the Church. Thus every person who is validly baptized is baptized Catholic, regardless of minister or denomination and as such, the baptized is obliged to learn true Christian doctrine, the repository of which is contained in the Catholic Church of which the ministers have both the orders and authority to teach it. Contrary to the above position, it does matter in which Church one is baptized for if it is not in the true Church the child will grow up and lose the sanctifying grace supplied by the baptism by absorbing the religion that has taken the sacrament outside of the Church and learning heretical doctrines. As well, the means to grow and regain grace should it be lost through sin, that is the other sacraments, can only be provided by a validly ordained minister, and these will not be accessible to that soul.
