My dad is 90 and he’s getting baptised

Filed under news |

A 90 year old man in Worcester was recently christened. This is really amazing that he would do this late in life! Do you know of anyone christened at this age?

His son Brian, aged 64, from Bridgend, said: “He took me to one side at Christmas and said, ‘I’ve got something to tell you – I haven’t been christened’.

“He’s getting to the end of his life and when he gets something into his head he has to do it.

“I’m delighted about it. It’ll be an occasion; all the family will be there.”

Retired priest Rev Jenny Hayward, who works part-time at South Hayes, will be taking the St David’s Day service and was approached about the christening by the family.

She said she has needed special permission from the Diocese of Worcester.
