Four Baptisms

The Patron (dorm father) takes Moses's confession

Today, we had four baptisms at the school.  While that's always a joyful thing, the events leading up to it were not.  

The first year of the school, there was a boy named Robin who was a student.  He ended up transferring to a different school across town in his second year, but the older students all knew him well.  Earlier this week, he was playing soccer after school and suddenly collapsed.  It turned out that he had had an undiagnosed heart issue, and had a sudden heart attack; he died before anyone could react.  His school and the community in general have been in shock, and some of the teachers took the older students aside to let them know.  

For a few of our boys, this was a wake-up call that no one is guaranteed tomorrow.  They realized that it was time to make some decisions about how they wanted their lives to be.  Please keep these four in your prayers: Gabriel, Moses, Clement and Laurence.
