When i was 12 i was baptized and dressed as a baby for the day! Two hours before mass,we went to the parish nursery and i took off my clothes and got into a crib,Mom then powdered me,then pinned a cloth diaper on me first,then put the rubberpants on over it,then a pair of white tights with ruffles across the back went on next,then a white tee shirt.I got out of the crib and a white,babydoll,knee length,baptism dress was put on me,then the matching bonnet and last the white shoes.I felt just like a real ‘baby’! Every one thought the ruffled tights looked adorable over my diaper and rubberpants!Half way thru my party,mom took the diaper off of me and i wore the rubberpants under my tights untill bedtime.

I was baptized when i was 15 along with 4 teenage boys and it was somewhat embarrassing! I was dressed in the traditional,white,poofy,top of the knees baptism dress and matching bonnet with the lace anklets and the white mary jane shoes and had the cloth baptism diaper and white plastic pants under my dress with a tee shirt as my top.I stood there at the baptismal font with my parents and sponsors along with the four boys and their parents.I could see the 4 boys looking at me quite a lot and their moms would look at me and smile at me.As luck would have it,i was the first one baptized and mom took off my bonnet and i bent over to recieve the water on my head and my poofy dress went up partially in back and the boys saw the bottom part of my diaper and plastic pants! I was so embarrassed!

To Amanda J.-I am a teen girl and have a few friends who are catholic and three of them were baptized when they were 15.The three of them also had to go thru an Infant Purity session the saturday before their baptisms on sunday mass.They had to spend the day in the parish nursery wearing cloth diapers,plastic pants,a tee shirt and lace anklets.They each had a pacifier and drank from a baby bottle.They took a nap after noon and at the end of the day,they were like babies! Sunday morning,they were dressed in their poofy white,short sleeve dresses with their bonnets,lace anklets and white shoes and had their cloth diapers and plastic pants and tee shirts on under their dresses.All three of them looked cute and very baby like for their baptisms!

I am a girl,14 and one of my best friends,Anna was recently baptized.I am not catholic and was surprised when she told me that the day before her baptism,Saturday,that she had to go thru the required Infant Purity Session in the parish nursery for 10 hours,that is for the girls ages 13 to 17.I went to the parish to visit her around noon that saturday and she was dressed just like a baby girl in cloth diapers,babyprint plastic pants,a tee shirt and bonnet,and booties on her feet.She had a pacifier on a ribbon around her neck.The next day,for her baptism,she was dressed as a baby in a babydoll,short sleeve,above the knees baptism dress with the bonnet,lace anklets and white patent leather shoes and had a cloth diaper and ruffled plastic pants and tee shirt on under her dress.She looked cute and very babyish for her baptism!

I was baby,six months old when i was first baptized.My dad was in the military and i was baptized by an Air Force chaplain.Three years later,dad got out and we moved to a mid size city where he got a good job and we joined the local parish.I made my First Holy Communion in 2nd grade,then 8 years later,at 15,i was getting ready for my 9th grade confirmation.The Religious Education Director told us that she was going thru the baptism certificates and noticed mine was signed by the chaplain.She checked with the Air Force to make sure he was commisioned,etc.and found out he had lost his commision two months before my baptism,which meant it was invalid!She then told us that i would have to be re-baptized and re-make my First Holy Communion again in order to be confirmed!She told my parents that my re-baptism had to done as an ‘infant’ like i originally was and that i would re-make my First Holy Communion right after my baptism.My re-baptism was scheduled for two weeks later during mass.I was given a white infant style,teen size baptism gown and bonnet to wear with lace anklets and white shoes and my parents had to provide the cloth diapers,plastic pants and under shirt.That sunday morning i was dressed in the outfit and re-baptized as a ‘baby’ during mass then re-made my First Holy Communion just after my baptism.Once everything was all done,i was confirmed with my classmates three weeks later!

The baptism outfits worn by Hannah,Allison,Laura and Lacey,and Gracie are the proper outfits for girls their ages to wear for baptisms! Entering gods kingdom thru baptism is an important step,and for the girls to wear the white infant type outfits they symbolize their purity and worthiness of entering gods kingdom.At my parish,baptisms are done at Easter vigil and all girls,little girls,preteen and teen girls,all wear the poofy,white,knee length,baptism dresses with a bonnet,lace socks or tights and white mary jane style shoes.A white undershirt is worn as their under top with either a cloth diaper and plastic pants or a size 8 pampers and plastic pants.The girls look very pure and innocent in their outfits and know that they are accepted in gods kingdom.

I am catholic also and my parish does baptisms on Easter sunday mass.The all white outfits are required for both the boys and girls up to age 17 for the Easter baptism mass.The boys have to wear a white suit and tie and us girls have to wear a white,puffy,short sleeve,knee length dress with a matching bonnet,white tee shirt,cloth diaper,plastic pants,white,high waist tights and the white ‘mary jane’style shoes.The sacrement of baptism is taken very seriously and the kids are welcomed into gods kingdom by the congregation! I was baptized two years ago at 16 on Easter sunday mass and wore the required outfit and it was special to me being pure like an infant being recieved by god into his kingdom!
