Baptism
Baptism is the first step of a journey into full membership of the Family of God, the Church. We welcome applications both from parents for their children to be baptised, and from adults who themselves wish to undergo appropriate preparation for reception into the Church.
Babies and Infants
For babies and young children being brought for Baptism, we would normally expect that at least one parent is Catholic - only as a full member of the Church family yourself can you really support your child on their journey into the Church. As parents, you will be your child's first and most important teachers in the Faith - please be sure when you ask that it is your genuine wish to support and encourage them at every step of their Faith journey until they are old enough to make their own mature and informed decisions. If you would like your child to be baptised, please come along to Mass and, if it is relatively new to you, make a point of becoming a part of the community here. You are asking that your child becomes part of the Family of God here in this parish - so strive to ensure that you and your child recognise yourselves as truly a part of this family. You will be made most welcome!
