Congratulations on the Birth of your Baby.
It is with great joy that we congratulate you on the birth of your child. We pray for the happiness and good health of your family
We have a Baptism Team who organise Baptism in our Parish. Baptism forms are available to download below or request one from the Parish Office. Once completed please email info@meadowbrookparish.ie for further details and to secure a date. A Baptism date can only be agreed/confirmed upon receipt of the required documents. Up to 4 Baptisms can take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month. Up to 20 guests can attend each Baptism. At least one month’s notice must be given to the Parish Office to confirm availability on the date required as there are limited places available each month.
Steps:
Note: It is usual for the parents/guardians to make an offering to the Church. We do not specify an amount but suggest that you give a donation according to your means in the donation envelope (You will find this in your Baptism information pack). Please send/hand it onto the Parish Office with the completed registration form and copy of your baby’s birth certificate ..before the date of Baptism
Please ensure you follow the HSE guidelines for any social gatherings that may take place after Baptisms.
