Baptism, or Christening, is mostly performed for families with babies and young children.
Holy Baptism marks the start of a new life as a member of the church. It is an opportunity to thank God for all the good things we receive, to celebrate family life and most importantly, and to begin a child’s life as Christian.
Adults and those old enough to answer for themselves are also Baptised as a precursor to their being prepared for Confirmation.
For more information please contact the Vicar.
