As part of the programme of the current Pastoral Council, twelve parishioners have beeen trained as members of our Parish Baptismal Team. From February onwards two members will visit couples who have registered to have their first baby baptised. They will contact the couple to arrange a suitable meeting time and will answer any questions the couple may have regarding the Baptism ceremony.

In order to facilitate this new arrangement, parents who wish to have their children baptised are asked to register with Anne, the parish secretary, tel: 79633635, at least two weeks prior to the date on which they wish the Baptism to take place.

It is our hope that this Baptismal preparation will make the Baptism ceremony more meaningful for parents and help them to feel that they are an important part of our parish community.
