Leo Henry Lahlum
Baptized November 27, 2009
Celebrant: Fr. Wilhelm
Cathedral of St. Mary
Our family attended the 12:10pm Mass at St. Mary's on the Friday after Thanksgiving. His Godparents and their family, Grandma Golden Acres, and Grandma and Grandpa Green Acres also participated in Mass with us. Leo's Baptism was immediately after Mass (well, we did wait for a few family members, but the time flew!).
Leo's Baptism was beautiful. It included blessings (much needed) for Eric and I, as well. Fr. Wilhelm's sermon had many lessons in it and I can hardly wait to listen again. Thank goodness one of my brothers was gracious enough to tape the ceremony for us. Many of our family members were present, and we were all touched by Fr. Wilhelm's words of wisdom. We are blessed to know this priest and have him in our lives.
After the Baptism, we invited everyone to a reception held in Leo's honor. We had a light lunch and cake before heading home to the farm. Thanks to my brother Collin for arranging the use of a conference room at his place of work.
