Baptism

Baptisms are by Appointment. Parents simply contact the presbytery and discuss the booking for your child's Baptism. It is helpful if you have more than one date in mind.
Baptism is the Sacrament which marks the beginning of a person's faith journey. It is a most significant event at we we name, celebrate and welcome a new member of our community of faith. Our preparation program includes an evening session for parents, and of course godparents are welcome too.  We also ask that parents attend Mass with us at least once prior to the baptism if you are not a regular member of our community here, so that we can welcome you and your child, bless you and pray for you as you prepare as a family for this wonderful Sacrament.
