Baptism at St. Thomas, Newhey

These usually take place on the third Sunday of each month at 12. 30pm

What is Baptism?

  • It is the way we join the Christian Church.
  • It is a sign of wanting to follow Jesus Christ and to be part of His family.

Is it only for babies?

  • No it is for everyone who wants to be part of the church.

What do we promise?

  • To follow Jesus Christ and to avoid what is wrong (sin).
  • To trust God.

Can a baby make promises?

  • No of course not! Parents and Godparents make the promises for the baby and for themselves.

What if Godparents can't honestly make the promises?

  • They can be a sponsor instead and will only answer the questions if they choose but they will still be special to the baby.

What if we really just want to celebrate our baby?

  • What a lovely thing to do!

( If this is the case please contact us for our Thanksgiving Literature.)
