I always wish my daughter a “Happy Birthday” on the anniversary of her Baptism. That day will remain with me forever.

I was baptized April 1, 1973...no fooling :)

We’ve always celebrated our children’s baptism dates. We had a plaque made with their names and the dates inscribed and hung it on our wall. We called it their “re-birthday” for their rebirth as children of God.

I still email them on their re-birthday and patron saint days.

But how many of us can recite off the top of our heads the date of our baptism?

August 31. The year is not important.

It's really easy for me to remember the anniversary of my baptism. I was baptized less than a minute after I was born, as "Baby Boy." On a couple of occasions, I have had to combine the "Baby Boy" baptismal certificate with a hand-written letter to my parents from the hospital priest and my birth certificate to demonstrate that the BB and I are one and the same baptized person. My parish supplied the rest of the rite outside of the essentials a couple of months later, after I came home.
