St George's Baptismal Programme
On January 25th the next Baptismal programme begins in St George's. It takes place after the 9:00am Mass in 'The Venue'
The Baptismal Programme of Saint George’s prepares parents, godparents and their families for the Baptism of their child.
The Baptismal Team comprises of:
Canon Chris Fallon, Parish Priest
Deacon Keith Ballard
And four parishioners:
Bill Hardaker
Noreen Smith
Pauline McNeil
Noreen McGinnity
Fr Chris
The programme consists of three sessions. Each programme gives the parents the opportunity to become part of the parish as a worshipping community at Sunday Mass. It provides an environment for meeting other young families and active parishioners.
The first session is an opportunity to talk over and discuss informally, with team members, ways in which our lives are enriched by baptism and the importance of family life in the church.
At the second session, we introduce the sacramental life of the parish church. We discuss the Baptismal Liturgy and the important role of grandparents and godparents in the faith life of their child.
As part of the final session, the baptismal candidates will be presented to the parish at Sunday Mass. They will be named and blessed. The candidates and their family will then be welcomed, informally, by parishioners in the social centre after Mass.
After attending the Baptismal Programme a date is chosen on which the baptism can be celebrated.
