God Bless the Taylor Family!
On Sunday, April 11th, the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to the Taylor family: Chirag, Aarti and their son, Jay. After few months of preparations, the parents became Christians / Polish National Catholic Church members.
Proud godparents were, Fernando (Danny) and Jennifer Galindo for Aarti Taylor, Christian and Marcella Galindo godparents for Jay Taylor and Leo and Beryle Coutinho, godparents in proxy of Alvin Jacob and Steffi Jacob for Chirac Taylor. We congratulate the Taylor family as the newest members of our parish, their relatives and friends.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s Body – His Church.
As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As Jesus won new life for us on the cross, the Taylor family was marked to receive the new life in the Lord. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave them new life which leads to salvation. Godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this family to grow in Christian faith.

Beautification Project
We thank David Obssuth for purchasing eight new shrubs that were planted in the front of the parish. It took seven hours of work, from removing the old shrubs, planting the new ones, and spreading forty bags of mulch. Our property looks much better. This work was done with the help of Michael Cyman and Fr. Joseph. Yes, we are getting ready for the church to be open again……Missing you all.
