God Bless Catalina Arelis
Congratulations to Hugo and Griselle Carvajal, proud parents of Catalina Arelis who was baptised on Sunday July 18th. She became the youngest parishioner of Holy Cross Church. Congratulations to godparents, relatives and friends.
The Sacrament of Baptism 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. 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, Catalina 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 are asked to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
