PORTAFERRY AND BALLYGALGET BAPTISM MINISTRY Baptism Information sessions will begin after Halloween. Dates will depend on Baptisms that are booked via the Parish office. Parents/ Guardians/ Godparents and Grandparents will be invited to attend. The informa tion sessions will be: · Short · Informal · Explain the rite of Baptism · Provide refreshments · Provide a welcome gift for each child. Over the next few weeks, we will be setting up ‘Baptism trees’ in St Patrick’s Portaferry and St Patrick’s Ballygalget beside the Baptismal fonts. The name of each child tobe baptised will be hung on the tree as a welcoming gesture from our Parish communities. May the time of preparation for Baptism be filled with peace, gratitude and the loving pre sence of Godinour families.
