YouTube Description

“This isn’t just about the baby—this isn’t just about the parents and godparents. This is about all of us, and it is about our faith.”

This realization came to Con O’Mahony, Vicar for Education in the Diocese of Hamilton, Ontario, and pastor at St. Margaret Mary Parish, while attending a baptism at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. Standing in a full cathedral before John Nava’s magnificent tapestries depicting the communion of saints, he suddenly understood: “We are not doing this alone. We’re not doing this in isolation. We are doing this with the whole church—there’s something bigger than ourselves.”
