The Diocese of Shrewsbury and the Baptism Collaborative are organising an event for northern-based clergy, catechists and all those interested in 'Reimagining Baptism'.
The Diocese of Shrewsbury and the Baptism Collaborative, a national group of catechists and clergy interested in highlighting the importance and transformative power of baptism, are organising an event for northern-based clergy, catechists and all those interested in Reimagining Baptism.
Baptism is transformative, it is the gateway to Christ.
You can join a national conversation about how baptism is understood in the life of the Catholic Church today – how to reawaken a baptismal mindset in our families and parishes and how might we spread the light of hope today.
If we are true to our Baptism, we will spread the light of the hope – Baptism is the beginning of hope, that hope of God, and we will be able to pass on to future generations the meaning of life.
Pope Francis
