Baptisms

Many children and adults are baptised at St Albans Cathedral every year.

Welcoming new Christians into our community is a cause for great celebration. Every child is entitled to be baptised in their parish church. To find out if you live in the parish of the Cathedral click here: https://www.achurchnearyou.com/

If you already worship at the Cathedral regularly but do not live in the parish you are also welcome to ask about arranging a baptism here.

We also regularly prepare adults for baptism; if you haven’t been baptised before and would like to find out more please get in touch.

There is more information about baptisms (sometimes called christenings) on the Church of England website: https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/christenings
