Mac meets God





Okay, so maybe he met God awhile ago but Sunday was the first day Mac was officially recognized as a Catholic. We celebrated his baptism at our parish, St. Clement, with Father Ramil, his Nana and Papa, Sue Sue, Dan and myself. Greg and Caroline, Mac's godparents, weren't able to attend but they were definitely there in spirit.

St. Clement, being such a large parish, typically does group baptisms a few times a month. We were one of eight families having our child baptized so at times it almost seemed more like a giant play date then a sacrament! But in all seriousness it was a beautiful event and Mac was wonderful. He was the only baby to do a full immersion and he was perfectly behaved. He even folded his hands at the baptismal font so he obviously knew something big was taking place!
