How to baptize a person in case of emergency or necessity

 
HOW TO BAPTIZE

Pour ordinary water on the forehead of the person to be baptized, and say while pouring it: "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Note: Any person of either sex, who has reached the age of reason, can and should baptize in case of necessity.The same person must say the words while pouring the water. (sjw.ca)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When baptism has been administered neither by the pastor nor in his presence, the minister of the baptism, whoever that was, must inform the pastor of the parish in whose territory the baptism occured, so that the pastor may record it in accord with canon 877, §1.
