Baptism Officiants in Munster, ON
Jean Duval
Jean is a true people person. With him, it will feel like the Baptism or Naming ceremony for your new family member is performed by a long-time family friend! Fluently bilingual in French and English and a resident of Gatineau, this experienced Designated Minister is at his best speaking before a crowd, big or small. He will work with you and your family to give your own personal touches to your ceremony. Jean enjoys seeing the faces of the family as their child, teen or adult is welcomed, and he will always give the best of himself to the family he serves.
Jean est super sociable. Avec lui, vous aurez l’impression qu’un ami de la famille célèbre le baptême ou la cérémonie d’attribution de nom du nouveau membre de votre famille. Résident de Gatineau complètement bilingue en anglais et en français, ce Ministre désigné d’expérience est à son meilleur quand il parle devant un groupe, petit ou grand. Il travaillera avec vous et votre famille pour que la cérémonie soit à votre image. Jean ne se lasse jamais du regard fier et bienveillant des membres de la famille qui accueillent un enfant, un adolescent ou un adulte et il donne le meilleur de lui-même aux familles qu’il accompagne.
Rev. Ed Montano
Ed lives in the Ottawa area with his wife (and best friend) and their dog (admittedly, a very spoiled dog!). He's perfectly bilingual in English and Spanish, and he could also perform your baptism or naming ceremony in basic French. Ed is an ordained priest with the United Free Catholic Church and holds his Bachelor of Theology and Master of Divinity degrees. His time is shared as Church Administrator, a hospital chaplain, and other community priestly duties. Fr. Ed understands that this ceremony is important and should be a most memorable one to you and your family. Ed loves reading, doing research, and writing. He is also blessed with a musical family, playing musical instruments and singing. Both he and his wife love golf, even though you will probably never see him on the PGA Tour!
Baptism Stories
The welcoming ceremony had a personal quality, with the beautiful poem and readings, that made it special for us as parents. The extra TLC you added to the ceremony made it extra special. You were warm and friendly, organized and thoughtful and we would have you back anytime! Thanks again for a wonderful memory!
