Catriona Gray is grateful for her “new beginning with Jesus” after she underwent water baptism at a Christian church in Quezon City.
The Miss Universe titleholder shared glimpses of her water baptismal ceremony at Favor Church in Quezon City, which she referred to as a step towards “publicly declaring [her] faith,” as seen on her Instagram page on Sunday, June 23.
“A new beginning with Jesus. Glory to God always. So fulfilled to take the step of publicly declaring my faith today. I was baptized as a baby, but wanted to take this action as an adult,” she wrote.
While sharing a verse from the bible, Gray thanked God for blessing her with a supportive community and “pursuing” her heart.
“So thankful to the community and family that @favor.mnl is. Thank you God for never ceasing in the pursuit of my heart,” she said.
Gray’s recent milestone earned the support of her fellow beauty queens Nicole Borromeo, Demi-Leigh Tebow, Stefania Fernandez, Michele Gumabao, and Janine Tugonon in the comments.
Vicki Belo, Gary Valenciano, Isabel Oli-Prats, and Anthony Pangilinan also congratulated the former beauty queen on her new journey with God.

In a May 2024 interview, Gray said she would focus on herself and her health for the rest of the year. She made headlines in the same month after removing her engagement photos with Sam Milby on her Instagram.
