Pre-Baptism Preparation
The Armagh Diocesan Pastoral
Plan 2015-2020 includes the following objective in relation to Baptism: “Baptism
is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit,
and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Appropriate preparation is vital for the
proper understanding and celebration of Baptism, so we strongly encourage each
parish to have a pre-Baptism team to meet with parents and godparents. Appropriate formation and training will be
provided for these teams.”
A pre-Baptism
team is now in place in our parish. A
pre-Baptism meeting for parents and godparents will be held each month.
Accordingly, parents and godparents of children booked
for baptism are invited to attend a pre-Baptism meeting on Thursday 28th
February at 7.30pm in St. Michael’s Church, Carlingford.
