Children are normally baptised on the second Sunday of the month. Parents attend one preparation session beforehand in the parish rectory.

Bring the child's birth certificate. At least one godparent must be a confirmed practicing Catholic over sixteen. Adults seeking baptism should inquire about O.C.I.A.

No appointment, no form, and nothing to prepare. There is a confessional at the back of the church and a reconciliation room beside it if you would rather sit face to face.

If it has been a long time — years, or decades — say that at the start and the priest will walk you through it. A priest will also hear confessions after any scheduled Mass.

Preparation runs from October to the spring through our religious education classes. First Holy Communion is celebrated during Eastertide.
