Baptisms
Baptism (sometimes called a Christening) marks the beginning of a person’s life as a member of the church – God’s people.
Baptism services for babies and young children are normally held at 3.00pm on the fourth Sunday of the month at the Minster, with a maximum of six families involved. We also hold baptism services at the associated churches, and arrange these dates individually.
Baptisms take place after a home visit by a member of the clergy and a Baptism Team member. Those enquiring about baptism should initially contact the Parish Centre. You will be put in contact with a member of the clergy who will discuss the options with you.
Baptism is open to anyone who lives in the Minster parish. If you live outside the parish but have strong connections with us you must first gain the permission of the parish priest where you are.
