Here are a few guidelines for the baptism of children:
- At least one of the parents must be a practicing Roman Catholic, and the other must be supportive.
- During the service you will make promises that you will bring-up your child in the practice of their faith.
- Choose godparents carefully. Each one must be a baptised Christian, and at least one must be a practicing Roman Catholic.
- The Sacrament of Baptism is not administered during the Season of Lent.
- If you are not resident in the Parish of Our Lady and St Anne you will need the permission of your own parish priest for your child to be baptised here.
