Baptism

Baptism is a community event when a person joins the family of God, hence baptisms are normally done at a Sunday Mass at St Paul’s Somerset West. Parents of those children to be Baptised, have to attend two preparation classes, normally on the two Saturdays prior to the Baptism date. These take place at 11am and must be attended by the parents as well as the Godparents. Baptism dates for 2026 are 12 April, 12 July and 11 October.
