In commemoration of St. Jerome Emiliani’s Feast, the Haven for Children joins the celebration through the christening of 10 residents held in St. Jerome Emiliani Parish Church on February 2023 . The children were assisted by the Haven for Children staff as they are being baptized and become Christians. The parish’s bishop presided over the holy Mass and gave a lovely homily that encouraged everyone to pause and think, making the occasion even more unforgettable. Several staff was also considered witness and Godparents of the children. Furtheremore, the momentous event ended instilling the learnings and words of God to the children. ###
