Baptism Ceremony at Holy Trinity Parish (Village East)

After my eldest child's baptism at Christ The King in Greenmeadows, I swore to never avail again of mass baptism ceremony. Our experience at CTK was disappointing as the ceremony was very disorganized. During that time (2006) they don't offer yet solo baptism.

So for my son, we had him baptized at Santuario de San Antonio in Greenhills as they have a separate chapel or room exclusive for baptism. Now for my youngest, I decided I want a church near our place and if lucky, I'll find a reception hall near the church too for the convenience of our guests.

Fortunately, after weeks of ocular visits I found Holy Trinity Parish located inside Village East Executive Homes in Cainta. The church was being improved from the outside but the interiors were already completed. Best of all, Village East Clubhouse is just a few meters from the church too, which is perfect for the reception!

 

There's something unique in this church and their baptism ceremony. Instead of the usual pouring of water on the baby's forehead, the officiating priest uses a shower head for the baptism. Pretty cool, right?

 

 

According to the church assistant, the parish priest is creative and innovative. He was the one who came up with the idea and the design of the baptismal basin.

 

There's a mandatory orientation/seminar for parents an hour before the baptism ceremony for special baptisms (solo) and on a Saturday scheduled by the church for mass baptisms. Baptismal rites fees are Php350 for mass baptisms are that done every Sunday at 10am, and Php1800 for special/solo baptisms done every Sunday at 5pm. They only accept one special baptism every Sunday.
