Baptism

Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit. If you would like to arrange a baptism please contact us using the email address below:

Here are a few guidelines for the baptism of children:

• At least one of the parents must be a practicing Roman Catholic, and the other must be supportive.
• During the service you will make promises that you will bring-up your child in the practice of their faith.
• Choose godparents carefully. Each one must be a baptised Christian, and at least one must be a practicing Roman Catholic.
• The Sacrament of Baptism is not administered during the Season of Lent.
• If you are not resident in the Parish of Our Lady and St Anne you will need the permission of your own parish priest for your child to be baptised here.
