Baptismal Candle

This past weekend I visited with my daughter and her family, for the Baptism of their younger daughter, Ember.

She was baptized in the context of the Mass, with the first part occurring before the procession at the Baptismal Font near the main entrance of the church.  The meat of the Baptism occurred after the homily, also at the Baptismal Font, and took the place of the Creed.

All the members of the congregation renewed their Baptismal promises, while the parents and godparents made the Baptismal promises on behalf of Ember.

The priest was the same one who was at Meg and Mike's wedding; and the Baptism, like her sister's, was at the same Church where Meg and Mike married.

It was wonderful. 

Afterwards, Meg and Mike treated their family members and the godparents, to a brunch at Jines.

Ember slept very well that evening.

I had a very nice visit with my daughter and her family.
