Baptism Preparation

Infant Baptismal Preparation, 2008

 A new system for preparing parents for the baptism of newly born children will begin in the New Year. Six sessions of preparation will be arranged in a group with a catechist, followed by a joint baptismal service. You don't have to wait for your child to be born. Come as soon as you like after a baby is on the way. It is hoped that the course will enable parents to be well prepared for bringing up children in the Faith, and that a network of new parents can be formed to help and support young families. Please contact Father James if you are interested in attending. Further Information.
