Baptism is the first of seven sacraments and the way in which a person becomes a member of the Catholic Church. It is the Start of the Journey of Faith. In Baptism a seed of faith is sown in us to grow strong and bear fruit. That seed is nourished by the example of other Christians and by the grace God gives us in the other Sacraments. In baptism we become part of the wider Christian community where we are called to worship together, to grow, to serve, and to support one another.
Baptisms at St Patrick’s Brockworth normally take place on a Sunday around midday. They need to be booked at least 4-6 weeks in advance and we recommend you contact us as early as possible. Please visit the Sacristy to see one of the Deacons to make an initial enquiry and obtain an application form. A Baptismal Application Form MUST be completed at least a month beforehand and handed to Deacon Brendan OR Fr Chris when arrangements may be made.
