THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM

The Sacrament of Baptism is available for all children, however if your child is 5 years old or over, preparation for the child is needed.  In these cases it might be better to wait until your child is in Year 3 when they will be able to join in the parish preparation for Baptism and First Holy Communion.  We also require at least one parent to be a Catholic, likewise with Godparents.

Baptism is a community event so to reflect this the Sacrament will normally be celebrated within the Sunday Mass on specified dates.

If you wish to have your child Baptised, please make an appointment with Father Joe McNerny, Tel:  023 9237 6151 or our preparation Catechist  Tess Pritchard, Tel:  07505 140031.
