Luca’s Baptism and Father’s Day

We started out the baptism day celebrating Father’s Day with some gifts for Paul.  The boys were more than happy to help.

Just the guys.  Poor Luca seems to be naked in lots of pictures….must be a 3rd child thing…

Fr. Tobin was awesome and helped make our baptism so beautiful.  It was such a special day to welcome Luca into our Catholic family!

Paul presenting Luca to our community.  There are so many beautiful things about baptism.  We love that we are able to have our baptism during the Mass and were able to do full immersion as we have with the other boys.  It’s such a beautiful and symbolic ritual and so many people are genuinely touched by the experience.
