BAPTISMS AND MARRIAGES  

Baptisms and marriages are arranged at our BOOKING HOUR – THURSDAY EVENINGS—6.30 – 7.30 pm.  

Please note that Baptisms are held at 10.00 am on the first Sunday of the month, but are not carried out during Lent and Advent.  

The laws on restricting marriages in church to those living in the Parish have been relaxed somewhat and you may find you are eligible to marry in St Oswald’s even if you live outside our Parish boundary.

Feel free to come along and discuss your requirements.

Secondary School Admissions

As a result of increase in demand for places in church secondary schools, some children have failed to gain admission.  St Oswald's has a voluntary register which should be signed each time parents and children attend church.  The entry rules for St Wilfrid's have been changed and it would appear that weekly attendance by parents is necessary to secure a place.  Therefore the vicar will be referring to the register in order to prove attendance when completing admissions forms.  She will not sign for weekly, monthly attendance, etc., if the register has not been signed.  Please bear this min mind if a church school is going to be your first choice.  The register is on the table at the back of church and may be signed at the end of the Service. Please see Pat Hood if you wish your name to be added to the register.
