The Font at Holy Angels

The Font at St Dunstan's

"Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us that to enter the Kingdom of heaven
we must be born again of water and the Spirit,
and has given us baptism as the sign and seal of this new birth.
Here we are washed by the Holy Spirit and made clean.
Here we are clothed with Christ, dying to sin that we may live his risen life.
As children of God, we have a new dignity and God calls us fullness of life."
(Introduction to the Rite of Holy Baptism, Common Worship)

Blessing the Waters of Holy Baptism

I baptise you in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

"You have been clothed with Christ. As many as are baptised into Christ have put on Christ."

"May God, who has received you by baptism into his Church, pour upon you the riches of his grace"

The Confessional, Holy Angels

Fr Michael is available to hear confessions before or after all Masses during the week or by appointment.

"When we come to Confession God is there, ready to receive us, longing to forgive us, wanting to heal us, dust us down and set us on the way.
For the Christian life is a journey, sometimes joyful, often tiring. Christ is always there on the road, but we need him especially when we grow tired, when we fall and hurt ourselves, when we need to be reassured the Love is waiting for us with all his wonderful gifts."
Fr Nicolas Stebbing CR
