BAPTISM
Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as a son or daughter of God. In Baptism we become members of Christ and are incorporated into the Church, becoming sharers in her mission. While it is an important event in the life of a family, it is more than just a private family celebration. When a child becomes a member of God’s family through Baptism, the Church community commits to supporting the parents and the child in their faith journeys - contact the Parish Office holytrinity.wgtn@xtra.co.nz or 04 388 6953 to arrange your child's baptism

FIRST SACREMENTS
We cover first reconciliation, confirmation and first communion in the same year. Each of our church communities initiates their own annual programme.

Otherwise please notify your interest at the parish office and you will be put forward for the programme in your area when it starts - contact the Parish Office holytrinity.wgtn@xtra.co.nz or 04 388 6953 with any enquiries or if your children aren't at a parish school.
