Having your child baptised
Prior to the baptism of your child you will be required to attend a short course which is designed to prepare parents bringing their children to be baptised and follows the Rite of Baptism. It explains the words, symbols, questions and actions that have been passed down to us in this great sacrament from the earliest days of the Church. It will give parents a better understanding of what they are undertaking when a child is baptised and will help and equip them in their role of developing the spiritual life of the child.
You are not required to participate in this course if If you have attended a Baptism Preparation Course with us within the last three years.
In order to help towards the costs of providing this course, heating etc. we would ask for a charitable donation of £10.00.
