God Bless Derek Joel and Amaia

On Sunday, June 30th, our parish witnessed the Sacrament of Baptism of Derek Joel Acosta and Amaia Accosta, children of Henry and Joela (Pichardo).  We congratulate godparents, the Acosta and Pichardo 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 this sacrament we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church
