Having your child baptised – Kiltoghert Parish

We as a Parish Community rejoice with you on the birth of your child and now we gladly welcome your child into the Christian Community. We offer the following guidelines to support you in your decision to have your child baptised in this parish.

As parents you will be the first teachers of your child in the ways of the faith. This is a great privilege but also a significant responsibility. Our Baptismal preparation programme will be of support to you in your decision.
