In August 2013 St. John Kanty’s baptismal font was refurbished by Wagner Monuments and returned to our church. This past weekend Deacon Dave performed the first baptism using the refurbished font.

“Parents and godparents, this light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly. This child of yours has been enlightened by Christ. He is to walk always as a child of the light. May he  keep the flame of faith alive in his heart. When the Lord comes, may he  go out to meet him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom.”
