Being baptized into the Catholic faith as an
adult is a life-changing experience, the meaning of which Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone believes is expressed most fully in the ancient
tradition of full-immersion baptisms. At last year’s Easter Vigil at St. Mary’s Cathedral, 17 catechumens were baptized in a new immersion
baptismal font built especially to return the cathedral to this
liturgically rich practice.
This year, nearly 50 catechumens are expected to emerge from the
baptismal font and into new lives of grace after Easter Vigil baptisms
on April 19, according to Deacon Christoph Sandoval, coordinator of the
cathedral’s Order of Christian Initiation of Adults.
