your baby’s

baptism

We are delighted that you are asking about Baptism for your baby. (Sometimes known as Christening). We can help you prepare for one of the most important days in your baby’s life.

Can my baby be baptised?

Yes, of course! Baptism is open to everyone and it costs nothing.
If you would like to know more speak to a member of the Ministry Team, who will advise you on what you need to do before a Service of Baptism takes place.

When and Where?

Baptism is normally part of the Sunday church service where your baby will be welcomed into the Christian Family. It is possible to use other churches but we will need the permission of the local Catholic priest or Reformed Church pastor.

 

 

What about Godparents?

Godparents and parents make promises for the baby, and for themselves, to help the children grow in the Christian faith. They should all have been baptised, and they are normally always adults. Godparents should be chosen because they will be there to help and support them appropriately.
