A new beginning

January 2009 began with a mountain of flurry. Nicodemus Paul was baptised on 4th January 2009 at the Church of St. Bernadette. It was a small and simple catholic ceremony. And we had the pleasure of having Nat and Nic's godparents and their family, my granny, parents and siblings, Shirley's siblings and their families join us for the baptism and lunch at Beng Hiang after that.

I had already been through one baptism when Nathaniel was born and as such, the procedures were not new. Procedures aside, I guess what really matters is the meaning of baptism. For catholics, it is a requirement for us to baptise our infants as soon as possible. In fact, this was made known to us during our marriage preparation. This was always in conflict with many other Christian denominations. As parents, we need to fulfil this. Once the child grows up, it really is up to him to continue in his journey of faith. And it is our job to teach him about our faith. Gosh, the responsibility!
