Baptism
“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: “Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word.” – (CCC, 1213)
If you are interested in having your child baptised please contact the parish office using the online contact form.
Marriage
“By the sacrament of marriage, Christians signify and share in the mystery of the unity and fruitful love which exists between Christ and his Church. They help each other to attain holiness in their married life and in the rearing and education of their children.” (Rite of Marriage, n. 1)
If you are interested in entering the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony at St Jerome’s please contact the parish office using the online contact form.
