Christenings, or Holy Baptism, is a joyful moment of welcome, marking a child or adult’s entry into the Christian faith. At Wells Cathedral, We often hold baptisms on Sunday mornings after the 10.30am Cathedral Eucharist, and as part of the annual Easter Vigil.
We are always happy to talk through baptism preparation and arrangements, offering support and guidance at each stage of this important spiritual milestone.
Following the service, we can also offer venues with catering options where family and friends can gather to celebrate.
If you have recently lost someone close to you, please do get in touch. Wells Cathedral is here to offer support, care and prayer. A Church of England funeral is available to everyone, and our clergy can provide guidance before, during and after the service, for as long as it is helpful.
Families often choose to hold a funeral first, followed by a thanksgiving or celebration of life some months later, allowing time for reflection and remembrance.
