Organising a Baptism within the Parish of
Beaulieu, Exbury & East Boldre
Everyone is welcome to have their child baptised in their parish church. Whether you are exploring the possibility of a baptism, or whether you have already decided, the Rector will be delighted to hear from you to talk about it.
If you live within the parish of Beaulieu, Exbury and East Boldre then we are happy to arrange the baptism of your child and we are pleased to welcome him or her into our Christian Community.
If you do not live within the parish, but have a connection with one of our churches, then, again, we would be happy to arrange your child’s baptism.
The connection that would be relevant might be:
- Parents of the child were married in the Church (Beaulieu Abbey/St Paul's/St Katharine's) they wish to have child baptised in;
- Another child in the family already baptised in the Church;
- Parents themselves (one of them) baptised in the Church;
- Are resident within the parish (www.achurchnearyou.com can help with this);
- Parents of the child are regular worshippers in the Church
There are no statutory fees for services of baptism, however, a donation to the church is very welcome. The baptism service takes about 30-40 minutes. If you want to sing hymns, which would lengthen the service, then you would have to ask us to arrange an organist. There would be a fee for the organist.
If you would like to arrange a baptism please contact Rev Catherine Cowie via
