The Baptism of Benedict Joseph Michael

One week after he was born, Benedict was baptized (February 26, 2011) by his Priest-Uncle, Fr. Miguel. The ceremony as always was very beautiful and he used the extraordinary form of baptismal rite.

We kept the baptism very small this time due to circumstances.

Thank you to those who came to the baptism especially to our parents and friends.

Thank you to David Biddle for being the photographer. The pictures that you see here were taken by him.

Lastly, thank you to Fr. Miguel for baptizing his nephew.

The Baptism of Christiana Mary

Christiana was baptized today by Fr. Miguel Marie and he used the extraordinary form of baptismal rite. The baptism ceremony was beautiful and holy! Below are some excerpts from the extraordinary form of baptismal rite.

“Almighty and eternal God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, look with favor upon this Thy handmaid, Christiana, whom Thou hast called to take her first steps in the Faith. Take from her from the snares of Satan which until now have held her. Open to her, Lord, the gate of Thy mercy.”

“Christiana, I baptize thee In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.”

Christiana was consecrated to Our Blessed Virgin Mary on the altar after Mass.

Thank you Fr Miguel for baptizing Christiana! Thank you to everyone who participated in this beautiful ceremony. May God Bless you!
