Congratulations to Newly Ordained Father Grant Sennott

Father Grant SennottFather Grant Sennott was ordained priest with three other men on Saturday. Then yesterday Father Sennott celebrated his first Mass at the Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church. It was a packed church and there were six other priests with him on the altar.

I believe Father Sennott will be a great priest. He did get a little choked up during one prayer and I understand and felt the same for him.

In addition to Father Sennot here are the names of the other newly ordained priests for our diocese: William Gibson, Christopher Holcomb and Peter Jutras. You can watch the ordination Mass here.

Sacrament of Confirmation

Luke ZimmermanOne of our Godson’s, Luke Zimmerman, received the sacrament of Confirmation last week. He is the son of my brother who lives in Georgia. We got to go spend a few days there after making it up in time for the Mass. Bishop Zarama of the Atlanta Archdiocese was there and gave the Confirmation class a great homily. Here’s a quote that Chelsea wrote down.

The most important decision you make in life is to be yourself. That is, be the person God made you to be. –Bishop Zarama to my cousin’s Confirmation class

Becoming Godparents Again

Baptism GroupThe day after Christmas, Cindy and I took part in the baptism of our niece Abi and nephew Charlie. They are the children of Cindy’s brother Jeff and wife Rosa. Cindy and I are Godparents for Charlie and our daughter Chelsea and I are for Abi. Here’s all of us with after the ceremony which was held at St. Agatha’s Church in Miami, FL.

Becoming a Godparent (or sponsor) is a real responsibility. Here’s what the Code of Canon Law #872 says about it: Insofar as possible, a person to be baptized is to be given a sponsor who assists an adult in Christian initiation or together with the parents presents an infant for baptism. A sponsor also helps the baptized person to lead a Christian life in keeping with baptism and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it.

We’ll do our best to be good ones for Abi and Charlie!
