Baptism Preparation Course

The baptism preparation course takes place three times a year and is intended to help parents

• to reflect on their own faith and Christian commitment,
• to become more confident in their ability to explain that faith to their children,
• to receive the support of a group of parents in similar circumstances,
• to deepen their understanding of the meaning of Baptism.

Courses run for up to six weeks, with meetings on Monday evenings from 7.30 p.m. until about 9.00 p.m. The meetings include personal testimony of members of the parish, who have come to faith in Christ by a variety of routes, and also a period of discussion within the group.

For details of the next course, please see the parish newsletter (The Angelus), contact the parish office (020 7639 0947) or the parish priest.

Please note that from time to time, depending on demand, we also run short courses for children aged 7 - 16 who have not yet been baptised. For those aged 16+, the R.C.I.A is more appropriate (see separate page).
