Dear Parent, Congratulation on the birth of your child. We are delighted that you have chosen to have your child baptised in our Parish of St. Jude the Apostle. Baptism is an important event in the life of your child and for your family. It is the Sacrament of Welcome to our Christian community. Accordingly, in recognition of this significance, the Parish Pastoral Council has taken the initiative of organising an Introduction to a Baptism evening which the parent(s) & Godparents of the child are invited to attend. The object of the evening is to contribute to your enjoyment of the Baptism Day by explaining the meaning of the ceremony and telling you how it will proceed on the day. You will have the opportunity to meet other parents of children for Baptism and have your questions answered. Should you require any further information on the requirements for Baptism please do not hesitate to contact us. Baptisms will be held on the 3rd Sunday of the Month at 1pm. Click here for more details  Booking your Baptism: To enquire about booking your Baptism ceremony, please ring our parish office on Telephone: +353 (0)1 4600127 To make a booking you are required to complete a form. The form may be collected from the parish office or downloaded here . Forms fully completed and signed should be returned to the parish office together with a copy of your child's birth certificate
