Baptisms at St James'

Baptism is the first of the Sacraments and the gateway to the life of grace in Jesus Christ. We are pleased that you are choosing to have your child baptised into the life of Christ, a life of service and self-giving love, and we look forward to accompanying you on the journey to Baptism.

Baptisms usually take place on Sunday at 12.30pm (After the 11am Mass) by prior arrangement with the Parish Office.

Parents are required to meet with one of the clergy if this is their first child to be baptised, so that the Rite can be explained.

Please note that at least one of the Godparents must be a practising Catholic.

If you are seeking to have your child baptised in this parish, please phone the Parish Office on 01334 472856 from 9.00am to 3.00pm, Monday to Friday, or email office.stjamesstandrews@staned.org.uk
