We baptise those who live in St Anne’s Parish (essentially a circle with Brooklands Road, Norris Road, Northenden Road and Dane Road marking the edges). If you do not live in the Parish but have reasons for wanting your child to be baptised here, please do ask.

Picking up an Application Form

To pick up a form, we invite you to come to our 10.00am All Age Communion Service. This takes place at St Anne’s and is on the second Sunday of the Month. You will be able to look at provisional dates on this occasion. See below for confirmation of the date  of the Baptism.

Returning the Application Form

We ask you to bring the Application Form, filled in, to the Office Hour. This takes place at St Anne’s on Wednesday’s between 7.00pm and 8.00pm.

Date for Baptism

Baptisms take place on most Sundays except for the Second Sunday of the Month. The service is held at 12 Noon. In order to make it a more personal experience, we only baptise from two families at any one time, with dates decided on a first come, first served basis. Until your form is returned to the Church Office and date agreed, please note that no final conversation can take place about dates.

Baptism Preparation

Before Baptism, you will need to come to a Baptism Preparation Session. These take place in St Anne’s Church, where the baptism will take place. They will be at 4.30pm on the fourth Sunday of the month. They will last about one hour. If you bring children, please bring toys and activities they can do whilst we talk.

You can arrange the date of the Baptism before coming to the preparation but you must come to a session before the Baptism can take place. Unfortunately, we cannot baptize until the parents have come to a preparation session.
