We congratulate Nylah P. and her parents, Richard and Karlah, on Nylah’s baptism, Sunday, August 9th.
Through the Sacrament of Baptism we are 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, Nylah was marked with the sign of the cross to receive a 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 her new life in the Spirit of the Lord. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
We congratulate Adrian Reynoso, and Jaylin Batista on the celebration of their First Holy Communion on Sunday, July 19th.
