Sacraments in our Parish

Baptism

We welcomed Liam Colgan, Harper Duff and Luca Sempere in Baptism recently.

We ask Parishioners to pray for all children and their families.

There are no Preparation meetings for July and August so anyone wishing to bring their child for Baptism over the Summer will need to attend our next Parish Baptismal Preparation meeting which will take place on Tuesday, 4th June at 7:30 pm in our Parish Pastoral Centre, Stamullen.

Please contact our parish office if you would like to register your child for the Preparation Meeting and for the Baptism Ceremony.
