If you're lucky the baptismal font will be a veritable pool, and the priest will climb in there and submerge each infant up to their nose. It's unlikely, but it's done that way here. In any case you should be able to get somewhat close. I would use the 24-70 zoom and shoot at f5.6, 1/200th in TAV mode. I would back off to 1/125th if there's no action. If necessary crop the hell out of them when rendering of course.
