We welcome any parents living in the parish, or who worship regularly in the church, who wish to have their babies Baptised (Christened) at St. Edburgha’s and become part of our church family.
In the first instance please contact our Parish Administrator who will be pleased to help and advise with details and arrangements.
Baptisms take place on 2nd and 5th Sundays each month at 12.00 pm.
Parents and Godparents make promises on behalf of the baby, including promises to bring up the child(ren) in the Christian faith, which is why the Church of England requires all Godparents to be baptised themselves. This is also why it is not possible for a member of another faith to be a Godparent.
We hope that in later years the children will wish to make their own declaration of faith and be confirmed. This is a special service conducted by the Bishop and attended by family and friends as well as members of the congregation. Before this service, classes are held to discuss what it means to be a Christian, to help them to make this commitment and how to express this in their own lives.
You can contact the Parish Administrator on Tuesday, Thursday & Friday between 9.00 am - 2.00 pm
