Ruskin & Tennyson Streets, Byron Bay |
|---|
When | Holy Spirit Parish offers an opportunity for Baptism in each of its two Mass centres. The choice is yours.
Please feel free to decide which Church and when | | 
At Bangalow The Sacrament of Baptism is conferred on Sundays at St Kevin's Church, Bangalow, after the Sunday Mass which begins at 9.30am
The ceremony may also take place immediately after Mass, beginning at 10.00am. At Byron Bay The Sacrament is conferred on Sundays at St Finbarr's Church, Byron Bay, usually at 11.00am. It may be conferred during the Saturday evening Mass, beginning at 6.00pm (and is desirable). | | | | Baptism Preparation | Parents seeking baptism for their child will be required to attend a Baptismal Preparation program. Details of the program will be provided when the baptism is booked in. | Please Note | Church Law determines that Baptisms are performed in the Parish where the candidate for baptism lives. Holy Spirit Parish does not normally perform the baptism of an infant (or adult) from another parish. If, for good reason the Baptism is sought outside one's proper parish, the local Parish Priest should be consulted. | Contact Parish Priest | All baptisms are arranged with the Parish Priest and booked in by him at least two months ahaed of the desired date of the baptism.
