Sock Baby Baptism is a right of passage for every second grader at St. Brigid. As the students prepare for their first communion this year, they also learn about their own baptism. To help them understand better they each create their own baby ( made out of sock and rice and decorated any way they want.) Once they have their baby, the baby has to be baptised, so they go went over to church where Deacon Frank talked with him all about the whole ceremony, including the vestments the priest or deacon wears, what the baby wears, the baby's name, the symbols of water, oil, candle, etc. The babies even have "godparents"- the seventh grade class! It is so sweet!!
Here are some pics I took of Lu, his baby, and his class.
