Baptismal Font

Priests, during the sacrament of Baptism (rebirth through the waters), use the glorious marble baptismal font. Above the altar, the Holy Spirit is symbolized by a gilt metal sculpture of a dove and sun rays. Upon the altar are three special repositories for holy oils used in the Cathedral during the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Ordinations, and Anointing of the Sick.
