Simon is Baptized

Simon was baptized on December 11, 2011 at the 5pm Mass.
Our friend and former paster Father Joe made a special trip to Celebrate the Mass and Rite for us. He has baptized all three of our boys.
Simon's godparents are friends from our cohort: Peter and Nanette Auriemma.
It was a beautiful Mass as always and we truly are blessed to have our friends and family with us for this joyful occasion.

The water was a tad cold and so Simon cried, but only for a minute or two towards the end of the actual baptism.

Family

The family endures because it offers the truth of mortality and immortality within the same group. The family endures because, better than the commune, kibbutz, or classroom, it seems to individualize and socialize its children, to make us feel at the same time unique and yet joined to all humanity, accepted as is and yet challenged to grow, loved unconditionally and yet propelled by greater expectations. Only in the family can so many extremes be reconciled and synthesized. Only in the family do we have a lifetime in which to do it. -Letty Cottin Pogrebi
