Sacraments

God Bless Marc

We congratulate Marc Gutierrez on the occasion of his baptism administered on Saturday, May 14th. Proud parents were Gustavo and Glenda (nee Rivera) Gutierrez, honoured godparents were Eduardo Montoya and Diana Velez. We congratulate grandparents, family and friends.  The Sacrament of Baptism and later 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 Baptism 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, Marc 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.
