      <image:title>Home - About Jim</image:title>
      <image:caption>If we haven’t met before – I’m Jim Sheehan. I am one of fourteen children, yes fourteen, and have lived in Bathurst for most of my life. So you could say that I am a fairly well-known member of the Bathurst Community. Becoming a marriage celebrant has been one of the most amazing achievements of my life – and I am excited to share this with you! I understand that celebrating milestones with loved ones is an important part of life – I’ve been a part of many family weddings each one more special than the last.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Baby Naming Ceremonies - It’s all in a name</image:title>
      <image:caption>A new addition to any family is cause for a big celebration – I would know being part of a family of fourteen kids! A naming ceremony is a unique way to honour and acknowledge your changing family publicly. Whether it's a new baby, an adoption or a newly blended family, it's cause for celebration! Celebrating these new additions to the family forms an essential ritual within our society – acknowledging this new person's transition into your family and community. It allows you the forum to publically welcome, name and expresses your love for your child. It is also an important day to appoint guardians or godparents and ceremonially agreeing to the wishes for your child's future.</image:caption>
