Baptism
Infant Baptism
Congratulations on your new baby, or if you are pregnant and planning ahead, we look forward with you to the great event!
Please contact the Parish Priest as soon as possible about arranging an infant Baptism at St Andrews. Infant baptism can be celebrated during either one of the Parish Sunday Masses (8.30am or 10.30am) or on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
The Parish Priest will arrange a meeting with the parents of the child as soon as possible, so that you may both be helped with the preparation for this Sacrament.
You should start thinking now about choosing two suitable Godparents for your child. Ideally, Godparents should be firm believers in their own Catholic faith, as their role is to support the newly baptised on the way of Christian life.

Refurbishing the Church
Our church is currently in the hands of contractors undergoing a much needed refurbishment. You can see some of the work underway in the gallery above and at: “The contractors are in!” on this page. We hope the work will be finished before the end of July, when the Church should be able to open again for public worship, coronavirus regulations permitting. In the meantime, if the Church is not available, daily Mass may be held in the Parish Centre.
Join us
See streaming opportunities, reflections and prayers either on our weekly Newsletter, or the “COVID-19” page. In the meantime, the Parish Centre is available for private prayer in the presence of the Holy Sacrement between 10.00 and 12.00 noon on Fridays. For arrangements to attend Mass, see the “Getting Back to Church” page above.
