BAPTISM

Your child is really special and we believe that all children are a gift from God. Thanking God for their birth and making them part of God’s family through Baptism is how your Parish Church celebrates this wonderful Gift. The birth of a baby is a wonderful thing and everyone wants to celebrate. There are two ways to celebrate with the Church. The first is to have a service or just prayers of thanksgiving for the birth. This can be in Church or your home. The second is Baptism and because this is a very important event Parishes invite parents to preparation sessions to help you make the event as special as possible.
