Baptism

If you are currently expecting, or just welcomed a new member to your family, it is the right time for you to prepare for the baptism of your little bundle of joy.

Our Baptism Preparation Course consists of 4 sessions to cover the most important aspects of baptism, which are:

1. Uniqueness of each child and God’s love for him/her. The use of the sign of the Cross and oils of Baptism

2. A look at the significance of water at Baptism.

3. How Christ is the focus of our life and faith.  The use of the candle and white garment at Baptism.

4. Rehearsal of the ceremony and brief explanation , this session aims to pull together all that has been discussed and to give you confidence for the big day.

Further details about our ongoing course is found in the leaflet (downloadable from here).
