Isabel's Baptism

Tweet

Sharing pictures from my baptismal day on January 15, 2012. My Ninang (Godmother) and Ninong (Godfather) are Sheila Jose and Ken Hutchinson. I received this wonderful sacrament at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, Indianapolis presided by Fr. Guy Roberts. Sign of the cross on my forehead
I did pretty well during the ceremony. Did not cry at all!

Fed and happy before the baptism

Slept like a princess

Beautiful altar of St. Joan of Arc, built in the late 1920s (before the depression) for ~$350,000.

My beautiful dress fit for The King's princess. (Christ the King!)

My mummy and papi and kuya Daniel

My Kuya Daniel (before his fever hit him) :(

Baptized in water and spirit

My kuya is so curious -- can you spot him watching Fr. Guy???

To share, here are photos from my Tita Lady's Baptism (my mummy is the toddler in the picture). She's not happy -- must have felt left out!

And here is my mummy's Baptism. She was almost 2 months old (like me) when she became (officially) a child of God.

Love,
Isabel

39 For the promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every one whom the Lord our God calls to him." Acts 2:38-39

15 Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Luke 18:15-16
