Order of Baptism of Children

Q: Regarding this circumstance of a child baptized in a different, parish, Presenting a baby to the community post baptism – would the Order of Bringing a Baptized Child to the Church from the Order of Baptism of Children also be an appropriate choice?

==

A: Not exactly. That one is for a circumstance where the child was baptized in emergency conditions and didn’t have opportunity for the other rites, such as anointing with chrism and the lighting of the candle. This child had benefited from the entire rite, and just needs a big fat welcome.
