Baptism 

Before phoning the Parish office for an application form for Holy Baptism please consider :- 

Have you chosen at least one suitable Christian name for your child?

Have you started to seek suitable Catholic Godparents who attend Church and will help to support your child in the way of Faith?
Are you attending  Mass on a regular basis so you and your family become an integral part of the Parish community.

 The Sacrament of Baptism is normally administered  on the 2nd and  4th Saturday of the month or by special arrangement with the Parish Priest or the Parish Deacon.

Holy Matrimony 

Please contact the parish office and make an appointment to see the Parish Priest as soon as you decide on your marriage. We like at least 12 months to process the paperwork and get things sorted for your special day.
