Baptism
- One of the parents must be a baptised catholic.
- Your family must live within the parish boundary to have their child/children baptised at St Boniface.
- If this is not the case you need to speak with your own parish priest to arrange the baptism at your parish church. OR
- If there is a special reason that you want your child/children baptised at St Boniface - i.e. the you were baptised or married at St Boniface - then you will need to obtain a letter of permission from your parish priest.
- To arrange a baptism it is necessary to make an appointment with one of the priests who will complete an application form and make arrangements for you, (the parent(s)), to attend a series of instructions on the last Monday of the month at 7:30pm. These instructions are given by one of the priests.
- Baptisms are carried out, after the completion of the Baptismal Preparation course by parents, on the first & third Sunday of the month at 3:00 pm.
- All baptisms (including baptisms at St. George's Hospital) are entered in the baptismal register.
- Please give three days notice if you require a baptismal certificate. There is a fee of £3.00 which is payable when the certificate is requested.
