We have been meaning to get our son baptized for months, but something always came up, or so I told myself. Finally with the help of a close friend, we became parishioners at an incredible church and began the process of getting baby baptized.
We needed to attend a baptism class for preparation purposes, which we took baby to. He actually behaved quite well for an hour and a half, which I was hoping would translate into a well behaved baby during mass!
As it turned out, it did! We got lucky on his baptism Sunday, because baby slept through the entire mass, and behaved like a pious, little gentleman throughout most of the Baptism ceremony that followed.
He wasn’t a huge fan of getting wet, fully dressed, in front of 100 some strangers, but he only fussed for a few minutes. As aforementioned, there were a lot of people at this ceremony because there were 5 other babies being baptized as well. It was a really neat experience to see so many other families completing the same process, but in such different ways. It was pretty awesome to see a crowded church with eye focused on its tiniest members.
We are so blessed!
