The responses gathered from the Year of Prayer, Listening and Discernment highlighted a desire for deeper formation and support for families preparing for Baptism.
In light of this, members of Parish Baptism Teams from Carraig na bhFear, Glounthaune and Watergrasshill & Glenville gathered recently for two evenings of formation focused on supporting families as they prepare to celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism.
Baptism Teams play an important role in parish life. By welcoming families, explaining the meaning of baptism, and encouraging ongoing connection with the parish community, they help parents to see Baptism not simply as a ceremony, but as the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith. Our parish communities owe a great deal to those who serve in this ministry.
