Baptism

Through Baptism we enter the mystery of God’s life and begin our welcome into the family of God, the Church.  Baptism normally takes place at Sunday Mass, to reflect this communal aspect of the sacrament.

Infant Baptisms.  Infant baptisms take place by appointment - please phone the office for more information.


There is a short course organized for parents presenting their first child for baptism. The parish office can provide you with all information regarding this preparation class. 
At least one godparent must be a practicing Catholic and all godparents must be over 16 years of age. Other committed Christians may be invited to be a ‘Christian witnesses’ at the ceremony

Baptism for Adults
.  If you have not been baptized, and are interested in inquiring about the Catholic faith, please contact the parish office.  Also take a look at our Becoming Catholic page for more information.
