August 11, 2019: Baptism Sunday – Michael Hidalgo

Baptism – one of the sacraments of the Church – has long been a tradition and way for us to acknowledge God at work in our lives and our commitment to modeling our lives after Jesus. It is a public expression of our commitment to Jesus and our desire to be identified with him and his death, burial and resurrection. Baptism is a symbolic experience of a change of mind and a change of direction (repentance) and commitment to a new way of life (belief and faith).
