"You have asked to have your child baptised, in doing so you are accepting the responsibilty of bringing your child up in the ways of the faith by loving God and your neighbour. Do you clearly understand what you are undertaking?"
— Rite of Infant Baptism
To apply for your child to be baptised at Our Lady of Mercy Parish you need to register your family with the parish, give us details about the baptism and choose a preparation course.
Once we have your details one of our catechists will be in contact with you.
Parents wanting to have their children baptised at Our Lady of Mercy must attend a preparation course before the scheduled date of the baptism. These are normally held monthly on a Monday evening. On the following Sunday, the families are introduced to the parish community at the 10.30 a.m. Mass at St Mary's and receive a special blessing.
