A ceremony organised annually by the Catholic Action Movement in Gozo at Ta' Pinu Sanctuary – the location of one of this Jubilee Year's Holy Doors, will be taking place this year on Saturday, the 6th of February.

Parents are being invited for a Liturgy of the Word presided by Gozo Bishop Mario Grech at 4pm, during which their baptised babes will be presented to Our Lady.

During this ceremony, the parents will pray to Our Lady so that she may keep her maternal protection over their children and families.

Parents are encouraged to bring a red candle to participate fully in this opportunity to hear Mgr Grech's message for them.

The ceremony, will include a certificate that will be given to all those present as a token of appreciation for their participation.

Those interested are asked to bring clear information about their child: name, surname, date of birth, address and phone number.

In case of difficulty, contact the organisers Netta Camilleri (21551022) or Guza Grech (27553822).
