It is through the waters of Baptism that we become members of Christ’s body, The Church. It is the
first step into the Church and has to be received before any other sacraments can be received.
Deacon Anil leads for baptism in the parish. On receipt of a completed application, he will contact
the family to discuss preparation and dates for the baptism.
Baptisms can be requested online below or with a paper copy of the form available in either church
or from the Parish Hub.
If you do not currently attend mass you will need to start coming to mass.
We run a computer-based Parish Management System and you need to be registered on this if
applying for a baptism. If you are not registered, please complete a Registration Form when
submitting the Baptism Application.
Please ensure you have all the information available before starting the form, including the baptism and Confirmation details for the Godparent/s as the form will not be sent if fields are left blank.
Under the law of the Church Godparents (Sponsors) must be Baptised and Confirmed members of the Roman Catholic Church who have reached 16 years of age who have made their First Holy Communion. and leads a life of faith in the Church. I(i.e. they should be a practicing Catholic) They cannot be the parent of the one to be baptised. They are to assist the parents in bringing the child up in the Catholic faith.
A baptised person from a non-catholic church can be a Christian witness but this has to be in addition to the Godparent/s.
