Baby's First Mass


After attempting it yesterday, this evening the baby and I finally made it to (and through!) Mass for the first time since she was born. It really helped that it was at home! One of my brothers-in-law made a last minute decision to make a really quick trip, flying all the way across the country, to baptize his niece after all!

    Can I ask a couple of silly questions, does your brother in law bring his own unconsecrated hosts when he knows he will be doing a home Mass and does he also bring a Baptism certificate or do you have to go through your own priest for the official paperwork? I was just curious.

      Yes, Father did bring unconsecrated hosts with him for Mass. As for the baptism/certificate, all the paperwork (as well as permission for Father to perform the baptism here in our diocese/parish) is processed through our local parish and the baptism took place at our local church this morning. Our pastor has been great about allowing my brother-in-laws to baptize and/or give our children their First Holy Communions.

      Thank you! Mass was in our home last night, but her baptism, followed by another Mass, was at our local parish this morning. It was so beautiful!

      It sure is! I wish we could see them more often. It had been 9 years since I had seen this brother-in-law, and ten years since he had visited our home! Way too long!

    Hello! I know this is an old post, but could you provide a link for the sweet veil with the bow that your younger daughter is wearing? Thanks so much!

      Sorry I never responded to this! That veil was from Robin's Nest Lane. She had closed her Etsy shop and Website for a number of years, but it looks like it is back now: https://tidd.ly/2OdZsKe
