More than 140 Catholic infants and Catechumens received the Sacrament of Baptism during Easter vigil at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and St Peter and Paul Cathedral in Torit.
Fr Joseph Lagura says the children got the Sacrament through the faith of their parents who dedicated themselves to the Church, Emmanuel Radio reports.
According to the Catholic’s doctrines, baptism takes away the original sins that they inherit from grandparents, Adam and Eve.
Fr Logura urges Christian families to teach their children Christian values so that they become matured in faith.
Crossing of the Red Sea is taken as the symbol of baptism in Christian life, says Fr Jackino Lomogo, Parish Priest of St Peter and Paul.
Baptism breaks away the life of slavery of sin and start a life of freedom with Christ as the children of God.
Easter Vigil was celebrated on Saturday in Torit town.
