The parish welcomes new members of the Christian community. Parents seeking to have their children baptised, should contact Fr. Pat. Approximately once every three months there will be a meeting for all parents at which both the Church's understanding of what baptism involves and the practicalities are explained. (Subsequent sessions with individual families can be arranged, if desired.) At this meeting a date for the baptism can be fixed at a time mutually convenient for the family and the parish. Baptisms normally take place on Sunday afternoons. There is no set fee, but a donation is normally made. At least one of the child's parents or guardians should be a Catholic and it is understood that the child will be brought up in the Catholic faith. There should be at least one godparent who is a practising Catholic. If a child is not already baptised and is aged 7 or more, it will be more appropriate for him or her to join either the First Communion or the Confirmation classes. Adults seeking baptism will join the RCIA class. |
