During a christening, your child will be baptised with holy water as a sign of God’s love and welcome into the Christian faith. Baptism marks the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith and discipleship, supported by family, godparents and the church community.
A christening is a joyful and memorable occasion, bringing together family and friends to celebrate while parents and godparents make important promises on behalf of the child and affirm their commitment to Christian values.
Adults who have not previously been baptised are also welcome to explore baptism for themselves. If you would like to learn more about christenings or baptism, please use the link below for further information and answers to frequently asked questions.
If you would like to arrange an informal conversation, please contact the Parish Priest, who will be pleased to help.
To arrange an informal discussion, please email the Priest in Charge, the Rev. Emma Durose on Baptisms@stmylor.org.uk for all enquiries about having your child christened, or as an adult, being baptised.
