WELCOMING, NAMING AND BLESSING CEREMONIES

For Babies and Children

the birth of a child

can be a time of great joy and celebration for us

as parents, family members and friends

WE OFTEN FEEL A NEED TO COME TOGETHER IN A SPACE THAT FEELS SACRED TO US

not simply to witness the giving of a name to this remarkable little being 

but to give a conscious and loving welcome

THIS CAN BE THE MOMENT TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE

AND OUR DEEP SENSE OF WONDER AT THE MIRACLE OF LIFE

and it can provide the perfect opportunity

to declare our highest spiritual intentions for raising this child

THE BEAUTIFUL PROCESS OF CREATING AN INTERFAITH CEREMONY

 

•     helps to clarify your loving intentions for parenthood

•     can create a ritual that is truly meaningful for you and reflects your spiritual beliefs

•     helps you to think about the possible role of Godparents/Spiritual Guardians

•     provides opportunity to honour Grandparents   

•     sanctifies the entrance of your child into the world
