Easter Vigil (Sat, April 7, 2012)

The Baptism

Receiving the baptismal candle

After mass

At Easter Vigil mass, Jon and one another candidate received the sacraments of baptism, first communion, and confirmation. It was a beautiful service from the music to the readings, to the prayers. He was doused with holy water during the baptism and received a generous amount of chrism oil during the confirmation. It is one day later and the fragrance from the oil is still very strong. For his confirmation name, Jon chose St. Sebastian, the patron saint of athletes and soldiers.
