Baptism Rose Program

Our council has a program to celebrate the choice of life and baptism of children at St Joseph Marello Parish. Members representing the council attend the Sacrament of Baptism of the child and present the gifs of a rose and rosary to the mother and a "precious feet" lapel pin to the father of the child as a thank you for choosing life. We try to attend as many baptisms as we can throughout the year.

Due to social distancing regulations, this program is on hold until we are able to hold larger gatherings. All parents and their children are in our prayers.
