Baptisms

Since we will soon be resuming public celebration of the Sacraments, we would like to schedule some dates for Baptism. The thing is, only a few families have contacted us to request Baptism for their child. I urge all of you with unbaptized children, even those who are pregnant, to contact Deacon Juan Faus (jfaus@olmc-sandiego.org) to begin the process which is outlined here. Deacon Juan will provide you with information to do the baptism class online and will help you get the necessary forms filled out. Once we get some more requests, we will schedule baptisms for later in June or early July.

A good answer to the question of How Soon Should a Baby be Baptized? can be found here.

This past Tuesday evening I baptized, confirmed, and gave First Communion to a mother and her two daughters. They were part of our preparation groups for adults and children above the age of 7. They were supposed to be initiated at the Easter Vigil (picture above is from the 2017 Vigil). While we had to delay and modify the rite because of COVID, it was nonetheless a beautiful experience. God’s grace made three new members of the Body of Christ, daughters of the Heavenly Father, and temples of the Holy Spirit. Don’t delay allowing God to make this miracle of a new creation for your child.
