Baptism

Baptism is the door of the spiritual life and the gateway to the sacraments.
— (Thomas Aquinas).

In the Catholic Church we baptise infants to welcome them into our faith and to free them from the original sin we are all born with. It is the first of our holy sacraments and it marks the birth of your child into the community of the Church.

Baptisms are celebrated on designated days during the year, but as a rule we do not baptise during the seasons of Lent.

Typically speaking the first and third Sunday in a month are our preferred baptism days. Once you have filled in the form the office will give you a call to discuss dates and times.
