Baptism
Baptism is at midday on Saturdays–you can arrange a date with our priest. There is no fee for Baptism but you are always welcome to make an offering to the Church.
We give classes to prepare you for your child’s Baptism.
We require parents to prepare for their child’s Baptism by attending a class. You will study the liturgy of Baptism and meditate on the meaning of the Sacrament. Class is 8-9:30pm on Tuesday evening at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish Centre:
2023
7 February, 18 April, 6 June, 8 August, 3 October & 12th December
2024
6th February, 9th April, 18th June, 3rd September & 12th November

Godparents support parents in passing the Catholic Faith to the child. Godparents also represent the Catholic Community. One godparent must be Catholic–their Parish Priest must confirm their suitability. Non-Catholics are admitted as Christian Witnesses. You can read the Church law about godparents.
