Baptism

Baptism is the first sacrament by which we become members of the Church.  For Baptism we have a short time for preparation.  It consists of one meeting with others who are also seeking to have their children baptised.  We try to keep these times punctual because of the demands of children and babies.  We would appreciate the parents and god parents to attend.  It gives us the opportunity to meet together, to look at some of the commitments that we are making, the role of the godparents, and some of the practicalities of the ceremony.

Baptism is the first sacrament of initiation into the Church.  It is important that there be some formal introduction into the Community.  One Sunday each month is set aside for the official presentation of those to be baptised and this is done at the regular Sunday Mass.

Preparation - Second Monday of each month from 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm

Presentation of Candidates - Third Sunday of each month

Baptism ceremony - First Sunday of each month at 11.30 am
