The presentation of babies, a ceremony organised annually by the Catholic Action Movement in Gozo, was held recently at Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary.

Parents were invited for a Liturgy of the Word presided by Bishop Mario Grech during which their baptised babes were presented to The Blessed Mother of Ta’ Pinu.

As part of the ceremony, the parents prayed to the Mother of God so that she may keep her maternal protection over their children and families. They were encouraged to bring a red candle to participate fully in this opportunity to hear Mgr Grech’s message for them.

The ceremony, included a certificate that was given to all those present as a token of appreciation for their participation.
