Baptism


Baptisms take place on Sundays at 1pm by prior arrangement, except for the months of August and December. We attempt to only book in a maximum of 2 families on each Sunday, to allow plenty of space and time for your Baptism.


Parents are asked to attend one informal preparation class, held on a given Saturday morning in the Parish room, lasting about one hour. The spiritual aspect of Baptism and the Baptism service are discussed.


Attendance at the preparation class does not commit parents to having their baby/child Baptised.

Parents are reminded that they can have as many Godparents as they wish, but one Godparent must be a Catholic.

We request a donation of £5 to cover the cost of the Baptismal candle and certificate which you receive.

After your Baptism, you will be invited to 10.30am mass on a particular Sunday to receive your child’s Baptism certificate, and for your child to be welcomed by the Church.
