Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's newborn baby, Sunday Rose, is going to be baptized as a catholic at a christening ceremony in Sydney.

Nicole Kidman and hubby Keith Urban are going to return to Australia to baptize their newborn baby daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. According to reports, little Sunday will be baptized as a catholic at a christening ceremony in Sydney.

Father Paul Coleman, priest who married Nicole and Keith in June 2006, revealed to Australian Daily Telegraph on Wednesday, July 9 that he would conduct the christening ceremony. "I am delighted at the birth of Keith and Nicole's child and I will be very happy to baptise and christen her," he told the publication's Marcus Casey.

Father Coleman has discussed the baptism with Nicole's parents Janelle and Antony, but is yet to confirm the arrangements directly with the actress and Keith. "Nothing is concrete, but I am just hoping we can have a very moving and happy ceremony for Nicole and Keith's baby here with the grandparents," he stated. Meanwhile, concerning the name of baby Sunday, the priest added "It's a beautiful name and I am thrilled and pleased for them both. They deserve every happiness and joy after trying so hard for this baby they really wanted."

Nicole and Keith were reported to have taken baby Sunday home just a day after she was born. Hospital staff told The Daily Telegraph that the couple and the baby set off for their secluded house outside Nashville just before midnight local time. The pair's 14.5ha property is concealed by large leafy trees on the top of the hill, an ideal private hideway for the family.

In other Nicole news, she got flowers from former husband Tom Cruise after she gave birth to little Sunday on Monday, July 7. A source told The Daily Mirror, "Tom was one of the first people to get in touch and he sent her enough flowers to fill a room."
