In the Catholic Hispanic tradition, it's customary to present a three-year-old child for a special blessing in the church. This tradition is a meaningful moment of gratitude and prayer for the child's growth. At the Cathedral Parish, we honor this tradition by offering these blessings after any Mass.

The main requirement is that the child has already been baptized. This blessing complements the grace of baptism and reaffirms the family's commitment to raising the child in the Catholic faith.

To arrange a blessing, simply contact the parish office. Our staff will schedule it after a Mass. During the blessing, the priest prays for the child's growth, health, and spiritual journey, with family members encouraged to be present and participate.

This tradition not only acknowledges the child's growth but also highlights the importance of faith in their life. At the Cathedral Parish, we embrace this as a way to connect families with the church and God, offering blessings after any Mass to make this tradition accessible to all. We are honored to support families in their journey of faith.
