The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism is the first and foundational Sacrament of the Church. Through Baptism, a child is welcomed into the Christian community, freed from original sin, and begins a lifelong journey of faith in Christ.
The parish community is delighted to support families as they prepare for this important celebration and encourages parents to actively participate in parish life.
Why baptise a child? +
Baptism marks the beginning of life in the Church and commits parents to raising their child in the Catholic faith, supported by godparents and the parish community.
