I want my child baptised. What do I do?

Baptism takes place in your local parish church. Most Baptisms take place on a Sunday. This is to highlight that Baptism is about belonging to the Christian community. The Christian community is expressed within your local Catholic parish. Some parishes celebrate Baptism during the parish Sunday Mass. All parishes ask that the parents and godparents undertake some form of preparation and instruction before their child is baptised.

Contact your local parish and parish priest for more information.
