To arrange the baptism of your child please speak with Fr Kevin Parish Priest and together we will be happy to arrange a meeting to discuss the arrangements.
It is customary for parent to select either a Godfather or a Godmother for their child. The godparent should be 16 or over and a practising Catholic who has been confirmed and made their first holy communion. Baptised Christians of other Churches can be witnesses in addition to the Catholic godparent. If you cannot find a suitable godparent yourself, the parish priest can nominate someone.
Baptisms are recorded in a register kept in the Parish, and you will be issued with a certificate which is a copy of this entry. You or your child can obtain a copy of this certificate at any time, by contacting the Parish.
The preparation of these Sacraments will be carried out whilst your child is at Primary School.
These Sacraments typically take place in Primaries 3, 4, 6 and 7.
If for some reason your child does not attend our local Primary School of. St. Thomas’ please get in touch with a member of the Parish Clergy, who will support you in any way they can.
