If you wish to book a bapstim/christening in the Billingborough Group of parishes

please contact the Benefice Administrator Maria 

Please note that as we are currently without a vicar, most baptisms take time to book as we are having to find a priest to travel in from outside the area. 

Because of this 

Baptisms need to be booked at least four months in advance and bookings will not proceed until the completed form is received. (Please note that forms can be returned without Godparent details, which can be submitted later). 

Initially requested dates cannot be guaranteed, but an email will be sent once the date is confirmed. 

Please find the baptism form which you need to complete here
