Welcoming your child (or yourself) into the Church through the waters of Baptism.
Baptism preparation includes a short session with the parish priest or a member of the sacramental team, covering what to expect on the day and the role of godparents. Godparents need to be practising Catholics, confirmed, and at least 16 years old. There's no set waiting period, but a little notice helps us find a date that works for the church and celebrant.
