"Such is the grace of God and such is our faith, which we must transmit to our sons and daughters, transmit to children, so that once adults, they can do the same for their children. This is what Baptism is"

Pope Francis

Baptism is not something which magically makes a baby into a Christian. Rather it helps nurture the seeds of faith. The church believes in a God who invites, who loves, who forgives.

If you are expecting a child or have recently had a baby, or if you are returning to religious practice after becoming a parent, please contact a member of the parish team for details about infant baptisms.

We can also advise you on baptism preparation for an older child.

If you are an adult who has never been baptized in any Christian denomination and is considering whether you should be, we would love to hear from you.
