We approached the font, calling on the prayers of all holy men and women, asking for new, eternal life or renewing the vows of our own baptism.
Together we were fed at the feast, nourished by Christ's own Body and Blood, in order to live as Christ's Body, pouring out ourselves in loving service to one another.
Congratulations to our neophytes: Abby, Denise and Ken, who have each become tonight a new creation in Christ through their baptisms. And we warmly welcome Rachele, Jessica and Carolyn, already one with us in Christian baptism, and now received into the Catholic Church. As the Holy Spirit came upon them all through the sacrament of confirmation, we are blessed that they now share fully with us at the Lord's table.
Jesus Christ is Risen! Alleluia!!
Praise God and congratulations to all the new members of Christ’s Body and His Church!
