Baptism is the start of our faith journey where we name, welcome and celebrate a new member into our parish community.

We hold Baptisms most Sundays after the 10am mass at St Finbar's and the 11am mass at St Joan of Arc Churches. 

Prior to the Baptism, we ask that one or both parents attend the preparation program, and godparents are welcome, but it is not compulsory.

Please contact the Parish Office between Tuesday and Friday from 9.00am and 3.30pm to book a Baptism and preparation program.
