Baptismal Team: Training and Renewal
In the context of today’s parish Baptism Teams are a powerful way of reaching out and making connections with parents/ families who request Baptism for their children. |
A Baptismal Team needs to consist of 6-10 persons. Training for new teams takes place over 3 nights or 1 day and is ideally suited to clusters of parishes. Renewal and support for established baptism teams is available on request.
The training course is built around the following themes:
- Present Experience of Baptism
- History of Baptism
- Challenges for today’s Parish
- Symbols
- How Baptismal Teams work - possibilities
- Christian life as journey
Please see ‘ upcoming events’ for details of training courses this year. We often visit Baptism teams in a parish to plan together an evening or a Saturday gathering. These gatherings serve as a refresher for the group, and help them to re-organise and re-new their energy for the year ahead.
