The newly baptised are children of women in vulnerable situations who considered abortion during their pregnancies. They were aided by the Más Futuro Association, a Catholic organisation that offers support to expectant mothers and mothers in need.

On the 27th, Cardinal Carlos Osoro baptised a six-year-old girl, two four-year-old boys and eleven babies less than a year old.

Nine more children were also to be baptised, but they were unable to be present because they were waiting for the results of coronavirus tests.

Cardinal Osoro honoured the children’s mothers during the baptismal rite, telling them: “You have chosen life, we know that death will come, but you have chosen life.”
