Baptisms can be held during mass, either Saturday 6pm or Sunday 8am or 11am, or at the 12.30pm ceremony.

Parents are expected to attend two preparation meetings on the first and second Wednesday of the month (except January). These are held at 7.30pm in the Monsignor Peter Jeffrey Centre (directly behind the Church).
