BAPTISM OF CHILDREN IN THE PARISH OF YATE
Baptism Services are on the first and third Sundays of the month at 12:30
You can arrange baptism at St. Mary's, or any
of the churches in the Parish.
Bookings at St. Mary's are taken on the first
Sunday of the month, after the Early Bird
service (please see our home-page for
service times) which parents are expected to
attend.
Before Baptism, a Preparation Session will
be held. The sessions are normally held at
8:00 pm at St. Nicholas' Church, Abbotswood
but you will be advised of the date and place
when you book.
We regret that we cannot proceed with the
Baptism until we have met the parents for a
time of preparation. If this is difficult, please
contact us so that alternative arrangements
can be made.
Here you will finalise the arrangements and share
the meaning and responsibilities of the Baptism
of Children. Parents are expected to attend and
Godparents living locally are recommended to.
The sessions last only one hour. Please note your
preparation date carefully and make every effort
to be present
Meanwhile, you are welcome and encouraged to
attend regularly with your child, St. Mary's or one
off the other churches in the Parish.
Also during the week, for Mums (and Dads),
