One year ago today Gloria Grace was baptized in the historic St. James chapel. It was a joyous celebration with our extended family.
This morning we woke up early and made it to 8:15 mass at St. James. After mass we lit Gloria's Baptism candle, sang Happy Baptism Day to You and ate donuts to celebrate her special day.
Remember this, Gloria Grace.
You have been washed
In the saving waters of baptism
And anointed with holy oil.
Place on your head and in your heart
The sign of the cross of salvation.

Loving God,
You created all the people of the world,
And you know each of us by name.
We thank you for Gloria Grace,
Who celebrates the anniversary of her baptism.
Bless her with your love and friendship
That she may grow in wisdom, knowledge, and grace.
May she love her family always
And be ever faithful to her friends.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen

May God, in whose presence our ancestors walked, bless you.
May God, who has been your shepherd from birth until now, keep you.
May God, who saves you from all harm, give you peace.
Amen.
