Past Double Celebrations

April 14th, 2007 by Angelyn

I had been extremely busy the past few days and missed posting two important anniversaries in our family. April 11th was our 14th wedding anniversary and the 12th was JM’s baptismal anniversary. Fourteen years of wedded bliss I would consider as a blessing  from God as we kept faithful to our wedding vows and we look forward to the our next fifty anniversaries. JM’s baptismal anniversary reminded me of those few days after his birth of searching for a church where he can be baptized within the week.  As my parents would tell me over and over again in the past, have the baby baptized the soonest time possible after his birth.   I contacted one of the Catholic churches  here in the city , but unfortunately, they hold baptisms  only on the first Sunday of each month. So this church was out. The next was another nearby church , but I was refused because  JM’s godparents were all abroad and they strictly require the presence of the sponsors on baptismal day. A couple more churches were contacted but to my dismay, they issue the baptismal certificate in Thai language only . I needed one in English because I was sure that when the time is right JM has to move on to a Catholic school in my country . It came to my mind that the priest who anointed him at the hospital could help. And I was right ! He immediatley obliged to have JM baptized on April 12, 1998 , Easter Sunday.  And his baptismal certificate was issued both in Thai and English. Added to this , he did not require JM’s godparents to be present during the baptismal rites. Thank you Fr. Ignatius Adisak for all your help and kindness. God Bless You and I wish you success in your work.
