 Confirmation takes place at various times throughout the year. If you are an adult seeking Baptism you may be Baptised and Confirmed at the same time. Adults do not need Godparents, as they are making the promises themselves, but they may have Sponsors if they wish.

 Baptism (also called Christening) is the means by which someone becomes a member of the Church. In the Church of England we Baptise children and adults. The water of Baptism washes away sin and gives the gift of eternal life, making the person being Baptised part of the Body of Christ, the Church.
-If you live in the parish or worship with us regularly - or if you would like to worship with us regularly - you are encouraged to bring your child for Baptism. We normally Baptise during the 9:30am Sung Mass on Sundays. You will need three Godparents, who should be Baptised and, ideally, also Confirmed, and regular Churchgoers themselves.

 Godparents are required to assist and support and encourage their Godchildren in growing up to know and learn the Christian faith, and the truths and values which go with being a Christian. They are required, during the service, to make statements of their own personal beliefs in God, and their acceptance of belief in the Christian faith, and their practice of it. They need to be able to make these solemn promises and commitments with integrity.
