Mason's Catholic Journey: Baptism & Family Unity

This Easter weekend, Mason Thompson, a young husband and father of two little girls, is stepping

into the Catholic Church through baptism at Holy, Trinity in the Northeast.

After a two-year process, he's one of several folks receiving baptism, first communion,

and confirmation during the big Easter vigil mass.

The service kicks off Saturday night with an ancient ritual straight from early church

days.

John fire lights the Pascal candle, spreading glow, through a dark church to symbolize Christ

light breaking through.

Father Mike Lewis caused it, the longest and most beautiful litigy, centered on these

new members joining the faith.

Mason grew up in a non-denominational Christian home and read the Bible during his military

days, but after marrying his wife Bella six years ago, he, craved deeper structure.

They tried Catholic mass together, recently convalidated their marriage in the church,

and now the whole family attends regularly.

He's drawn to the tradition that matches his military background and fatherhood sealed

the deal, seeing his three-year-old Sophia and four-year-old.

Rose as God's gift pushed him further.

They pray the rosary nightly, share Bible stories, and plan all the kids' sacraments.

Bella's thrilled he found this path himself, noticing real changes in him, and as their

girls play with holy water, the family's unity shines through.

This milestone moment.
