God Bless William Parker

Events, Parish Life, PNCC /

The parishioners of Holy Cross Church witnessed the Sacrament of Baptism on Sunday, August 25th administered to William Parker Estrella, son of David and Marie Estrella. Proud godparents were Santiago Estrella and Patricia Traugh.  We congratulate the Estrella and Kultenios families as well as grandparents, family members and friends on this special occasion. The Sacrament of Baptism-Confirmation is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through the Sacrament of Baptism-Confirmation 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, with the symbol of the cross, David 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 new life and lead to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
