We had Marissa's baptism in August. It was a small celebration, with just family and some close friends, and was held at Our Lady of the Assumption - the parish that I attended growing up. I actually celebrated my first communion and confirmation at that church (though it has definitely been remodeled since then).
We chose Amanda and Matt Forgione as her Godparents. They are great friends of ours, are Catholic (a requirement is that at least one of the Godparents is Catholic), and will definitely be around to see Marissa grow up and will be great role models for her.
The Forgiones kindly offered their home as the site for the after-Baptism brunch, which was very convenient and lovely.
In all, it was a nice time. Marissa looked so cute in her fancy baptismal gown and bonnet (which Amanda let us borrow...it was her daughter Caitlin's baptismal gown and worked perfectly). It was just gorgeous.
So now she's even more of an "angel." :-)
