Four baptised at Clonakilty Parish Church
Our family of parishes has welcomed four young people into the Christian community.
The children belong to two families who live at The Lodge in Clonakilty and came to Ireland from Nigeria.
Esther, Diamond and Chistiana were accompanied by their mother Salimat along with their shared sponsors Paul and Balikis.
Balikis' baby Siobhan was also baptised at the same ceremony.
Bookings for a Baptism in one of the churches of the family of parishes can be made here.
