THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM

Baptism

What does the Church Teach?

The parish Christening Team provide assistance to parents wishing to

have their child baptised, by visiting them in their homes, to provide a

welcome and explain the rules and procedures required for a baptism.

They will explain what is  required of the parents and the godparents

and the arrangement for a Family Welcome,  which is held during the

Sunday Mass on the first Sunday of the month,  preceding the proposed

christening .

Parents should contact the Parish Office or a member of the Christening

Team for an “Application for Baptism” form, which when completed should

be returned to the Parish Office.

The Parish Priest has the final say on all Applications and will decide if the

necessary qualifications are met before christenings proceed.

Christenings are held generally on the first Sunday of the month at 12.00

midday, but this arrangement may be affected  by other events on the

church calendar, and move slightly.

“We, the Christening Team, hope that we can help provide a memorable

and happy occasion on this very important first step in the journey of

faith for your child and that this contact with St Teresa’s community

will only be the beginning of your families’ involvement with our church

and the different groups which are available to help parishioners.”

THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

If you know of anyone who would like to receive Communion

at home or the Sacrament of the Sick under routine circumstances,

then please contact the parish office.  In case of extreme

emergency contact a priest directly. 

The first Wednesday mass includes Sacrament of the Sick for anyone who

wishes it.

For the last eighteen months of her life St Teresa suffered greatly with illness.

This was a terrible trial for her, yet she remained strong because of her faith

in God`s love. She accepted suffering as God`s will and offered it to Him,

uniting her suffering with that of Jesus on the Cross. She also saw the suffering

of those she loved, particularly her father, who suffered a form of dementia

towards the end of his life.

Funerals 

Are by arrangement. St Teresa`s has a parish Cemetary for parishioners

St Therese of Lisieux Prayer for priests.

O Jesus

I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;

for your unfaithful and tepid priests;

for your priests labouring at home or abroad in distant mission fields.

For your tempted priests;

for your lonely and desolate priests;

for your young priests;

for your dying priests;

for the souls of your priests in Purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:

the priest who baptised me;

the priests who absolved me from my sins;

the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body

and Blood in Holy Communion;

the priests who taught and instructed me;

all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,

and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.

Amen
