Baptism
Children’s initiation begins with the Rite of Baptism for Children. This is often undertaken when the child is an infant, but it can be undertaken at a later stage up to the age of discernment. Special arrangements are made for children who are older than the normal age for children’s confirmation and first communion (school year 3) but not yet reached the age of discernment. Baptisms can also be included in the community Sunday Mass, by arrangement with the Parish Priest.
The initial preparation of the parents for baptism is undertaken by our parish team. Sessions are held 4:30–5:30pm at the parish hall on the 1st Saturday of each month
