If you have attended a Baptism Preparation course you are welcome to contact Shirley Bailey, the Parish Administrator, to book a baptism date. Have ready the date you attended the Baptism Preparation Class as Shirley will ask you for it.
The Baptism Preparation Course and how to book onto it is described here:
A donation of £70 (ideally gift aided) is suggested from parents for a Baptism. This sum goes towards the running costs of the churches and the support of the parish priest. However, a smaller contribution can be made, depending on your family circumstances.
In the interests of safety and comfort in the church, please limit your guests to a maximum of 30 per candidate for baptism.
Baptisms will take place at SS Mary & Joseph church at 12 noon on a Saturday, except for the season of Lent and Advent.
Please ensure that you and the godparents arrive at least 15 minutes before Mass, which will start on time at 12 noon. This enables everyone to settle and is respectful of those who arrive on time. If you are late then you will miss the opportunity for your child to be baptised on this occasion, which would be unfortunate. Please take a seat in the front rows with mother, father and baby next to the central aisle. Godparents should sit next to the family.
We look forward to welcoming your child into the family of God!
