Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals
This page works best as one simple, welcoming section in the main navigation, with each life event clearly separated on the same page. That keeps navigation easy and avoids several small pages with repeated wording.
LIFE EVENTS
With You Through Life’s Important Moments
At St Augustine’s, we are honoured to walk alongside people through some of life’s most meaningful moments — baptisms, weddings, funerals, and times of prayer and support.
Whether you are celebrating, remembering, grieving, or simply exploring faith, you are always welcome to contact us and have a conversation with one of our clergy.
Baptisms
Baptism & Christenings
Baptism marks the beginning of a person’s journey in the Christian faith. It is a joyful occasion where we give thanks for God’s love and welcome people into the life of the Church.
We warmly welcome baptisms for infants, children, and adults.
Most baptisms take place on Sundays and include a time to meet with the priest beforehand to talk through the service and answer any questions you may have.
There is no fee for baptism, although donations towards the ministry of the church are always appreciated.

Pastoral Care
Here to Support You
There are times in life when people simply need someone to talk with, pray with, or walk alongside them.
Our clergy are available for pastoral conversations, prayer, home or hospital visits, and spiritual support.
