Most christenings I have attended are early afternoon. It depends on the church as far as I know

I think there's pagan services in Jenkinstown on the 22/6.

Any christening I attended in KK was between 12.00 and 3.00.
It's up to the church/priest, they normally do them straight after the last mass in the morning
