Question: Can you get christened on a saturday !?

We need to arrange a christening for our little boy but the church is fully booked on most sundays I know it's traditional for a sunday but wondered if it would be ok

Thanks

I assume you mean a Baptism!. Many clergymen will baptise on other days of the week but you really need to discuss it with your own clergyman!.
There is nothing to stipulate it must be on a SundayWww@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, you can have your little boy christened on any day of the week, in our church the vicar does like to do it on a Sunday during communion, it makes for a very nice and well attended service!.

You could ask for the Christening/baptism to take place during a sunday service; but there are no rules about when or where it can take place!.

If you don't go to church, or understand Christianity that well, you should attend an Alpha course so you understand the vows you are making on your child's behalf!. http://uk!.alpha!.org/Www@QuestionHome@Com

Talk to priest!. We had one done here on a Saturday a few weeks ago!. There are no rules against it, it depends when priest would be willing to arrange to do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's usually up to your church!. They usually save Saturdays for weddings!. Call your church and ask!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
