Parish Celebrates the Sacraments of Initiation at Easter Vigil

The crowning event of life

If someone were to ask you, "What is the most important thing in life for everybody without exception?," You should respond with the answer: "Baptism!" without a second thought.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the beginning of lifesupernatural life! We receive God's special grace and become His Children!

After a year of Journeying in Faith through the weekly English RCIA classes, Michael Tang and Karen Lio finally received the sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation, together with Anne Sri Devi (Mrs. Jerry Manikam) and Matius Jilly Marubong and his wife Magdaline Santie, from the Bahasa RCIA class conducted by Sr. Caroline Gan. There was also a baby baptism and the sole candidate for confirmation was Diana Orzanes Almeda (Mrs. Christopher Lim)

Congratulations to all the candidates who have been through the RCIA process and May God continue to bless and guide our newly baptised in their journey of life!
