June 27th - A Baptism, A Graduation and Blessing of Water

(published June 27, 2010)

On Saturday June 26, Susan Schrocket, an adult convert from Judaism, was baptized and chrismated. On Sunday, June 27, she was churched and received her first Holy Communion.

On that same day we recognized Alexander Nicastro, a participant in our Church School program and faithful altar server, who graduated from the Frank Sinatra High School for the Performing Arts. He plans to attend LIU CW Post university in the Fall.

In anticipation of the feast of the Holy Preeminent Apostles Peter & Paul, the Lesser Blessing of Water was served and the church and faithful were anointed with the Agiama (blessed Water).

A celebratory lunch in honor of the newly baptized Susan Ruth, and her godmother Valerica Mantali who celebrated her birthday on the same day was offered.

Another joyous day at the Second Street Cathedral. When you miss a Sunday here, you miss a lot! (Photos by Ryan Basil Weldzius)
