Baltimore Cathecism

by Rev. Thomas L. Kinkead

THE MANNER IN WHICH A LAY PERSON IS TO BAPTIZE IN CASE OF NECESSITY


Pour common water on the head or face of the person to be baptized, and
say while pouring it: "I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."


N.B. Any person of either sex who has reached the use of reason can
baptize in case of necessity.
