Next Baptism Course

Our next Baptism course will be held at St Edmund’s Church on the following evenings:

 

Wednesday 24th Feb, Wednesday 3rd March and Wednesday 10th March,

all from 7 to 8pm.

Application forms are available from the sacristy after Sunday Mass.  Please return the

completed form before the first meeting, so we have an idea of the numbers attending. 

If you have a young child, as opposed to a baby, we do ask you to make arrangements for someone to look after that child whilst you come to the course.

Thank you.
