Baptism is a sacrament of welcome. Jesus invites everybody to come to him and share his life. He especially loves children and wishes them to be close to him. We welcome enquiries from parents about the baptism of their children. The person who is baptised is invited to ‘taste and see that the Lord is good’ (Psalm 34:8). It takes a lifetime to grasp the riches of the mercy and love of God. When the person being baptised is a child the responsibility of forming the child in the faith falls on the parents and the parish community.

Baptisms take place on the second Saturday of each month. Parents/guardians are asked to give six weeks’ notice to the parish office. Once the application process is completed and the date of baptism confirmed, a member of the parish team will contact the parents/guardians in advance of baptism for catechist.
