Baptisms at Fishermans Bay By Jewell DRURY
FISHERMANS Bay has been the recent site for multiple baptisms. Most people associate baptisms with the sprinkling of water over a baby’s head, but there is so much more to this biblical tradition. Reverend Kesh Govan from All Saints Anglican Church conducts Baptisms regularly and has chosen Fishermans Bay as the venue for this holy event.

Recent baptisms at Fishermans Bay included Jack Torr, Jamie Torr and Pat Allsopp.
