I just want to share that Michael was baptized on December 21st and Nick and I had our marriage convalidated at the same time! We didn't tell the family that was there about the convalidation beforehand so it was a special surprise.

Congratulations...and how nice to share a special day with your son! Dh and ds share the same baptism day (Pentecost) and we really enjoy celebrating these anniversaries each year.

Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! When my husband entered the Church 11 years ago, our marriage was convalidated, and the day after (Easter Sunday), our two children were baptized. It is such a wonderful grace to receive.

Jennifer,

Congratulations!

Dh and I had our marriage blessed on the day I entered the church. Dh told me that I was receiving a "grand slam" of Sacraments that day: Baptism (conditional, since I was "sprinkled" as a baby), Confession, Communion, Confirmation, and Marriage!
