God bless Louis Salvador

On Saturday, June 17th, Louis Salvador Bradbury, son of Stephen Bradbury Sr. and Pilar Rey Bradbury received the Sacrament of Baptism. Proud godparents were Richard Krumm and Wilma McBain. We congratulate Louis’ parents Stephen and Pilar on this special occasion, as well as family members and friends. The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith it is a gateway to life in the Spirit and the door that gives access to other sacraments… Through Baptism we are regenerated and become members of Christ incorporated into His Church. In baptism we are immersed into death and resurrection of Jesus. As God made the covenant with his people, so through Baptism Jesus makes a New and Everlasting Covenant with his followers.

God bless Omar and Jasmine

We congratulate Omar Habith Cotes and Jasmine Nicole Cotes who after preparation, received the Sacrament of Matrimony on Sunday June 11th. Omar and Jasmine are blessed with two daughters, Isabella and Angelise.

Marriage in the National Catholic Church, “is not simply the Church giving its blessing to the natural union of man and woman, but rather is uniting the new couple in the eucharistic fellowship and thereby placing the marriage in the context of the mystery of the Church. Marriage is concluded as a sacrament by the blessing of a lawfully ordained minister.” Proudly attending Omar and Jasmine were Natalie Lazar and Aida Santiago.
