Welcome Cecilia Therese to the Catholic Church

Changing into her baptismal gown


Ready to be baptized in the gown her oldest sister sent to the family.




Godparents, Cecilia and parents are gathered about the baptismal font with her 2 brothers acting as servers to Father John



Receiving the holy oil on her chest



Blessing the water in the font.



Receiving the Holy water of Baptism




Being blessed with the Chrism Oil - such a beautiful aroma.



Receiving the symbolic light of Christ



Welcome Cecilia Therese into the original church of Christ.
