Our Parish Baptism celebrate every Second Sunday of the month (starting April 2023) after the 10.30am Mass. Parents must attend to a one-night baptismal preparation course every last Thursday of the month at 7.00pm, at the Ryder Room. At the session, there is an excellent DVD presentation and reflection questions based on the DVD.
