Olivia, the daughter of Helen and Gareth Thomas, sister to Evelyn, was born in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.
Helen has strong roots with St Mary the Virgin Church in Walton East. Many generations of her family have attended here. Olivia was another 4th generation daughter to wear the special family christening gown. This baptism was unique in that the Rev Derek Davies, who conducted the service, also wore the gown for his christening!
It was also the first baptism in Pembrokeshire to take place since lockdown. The family would like to say a huge thank you to Venerable Dennis Wight for suggesting Seimon Morris compose music for the service, as singing was not allowed. It was perfect. Also thank you to Rev Derek Davies for taking the service and Father Neil Hook and Archdeacon Paul Mackness, for allowing it to happen with all the precautions in place.
