Baptism

Baptism is the beginning of our life in Christ and our welcome into the family of the Church.

A Special Beginning

We are delighted to welcome families who wish to have their child baptised at Sacred Heart of Jesus. Baptism is a joyful celebration for your family and for our whole parish community.
