Close - Baptism and Formation at the Pontifical North American College

In this video, we hear from Deacon Zane Langenbrunner as he baptizes Anna Sophia Veronica in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The baptism is a symbol of the grace that God gives us and a new beginning of goodness. We also hear from Fr. David Hulshof, Director of Apostolic Formation at the Pontifical North American College, who expresses his gratitude to those who are bringing the good news to the people of God and shaping themselves as persons of Jesus Christ for the needs of His kingdom. We hear from the seminarians at the college, who explain that the formation to be a priest is a constant conversion that needs to take place every day and a training of the heart. They express their hope to be open and available to the needs of others and to bring the message of Christ to their home diocese. Deacon Zane Langenbrunner concludes with the powerful statement that God is real and if He loves us, that's everything.
