Your correspondent and her husband had a busy few days in Canberra prior to Christmas, with the main reason for the trip up the freeway being the Baptism and Confirmation of their 16 year-old grandson, and the Confirmation of his mother, into the Catholic Church.
On the way, we were caught up in the traffic snarl on the Yass Valley section of the Hume Freeway, caused by a truck carrying lithium batteries catching fire.
This necessitated the closure of the Hume Freeway both north and south of Yass, and the subsequent diversion of all traffic through the main street of Yass.
Although it took an extra 2.5 hours, we did arrive safely in Canberra, taking a detour from Yass through picturesque countryside, on the Wee Jasper Rd.
The Baptism/Confirmation of the group of nine adults was held during the 5.30pm Sunday Mass at St Michael’s Catholic Church, Kaleen, and it is the first time we had witnessed Baptism by immersion.
