[Mad Dawg]

At our Vigil, at the right time, Fr. Brian stepped into the font, grimaced, smiled, and mouthed, "It's COLD!" to the three catechumens.

They weren't really dunked. They knelt in the water and Fr. B took big handsful of water and sloshed 'em real good.

We have a Baptismal Pool. The two young girls and one older woman being Baptized on Holy Saturday, knelt in the pool, and Father Mike poured water over their heads from a large glass pitcher. You could tell by their expressions that it was cold!

It was a wonderful sight later, at the Offertory, when the three returned. The little girls were dressed in tea length white dresses, and the older woman was in a white robe over her clothes. We, in the choir, were singing "For All the Saints", and I got so fahklempt when those little girls walked up the aisle, that I couldn't continue singing. We had another woman and two men who were Confirmed, and received Holy Communion, along with the three who were Baptized earlier.
