On this most glorious day in Western NY, as we welcomed our son, Seth, into the Roman Catholic Faith Family I was reminded of words spoken at our first child's baptism. The priest at that sacrament related the story of a man who kissed the chest of his newly baptized baby every night at the completion of his evening prayers. These pure little babies are the truest tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. They bring the grace of Christ into our homes and our lives.

What beautiful thoughts on the sacrament of baptism and the gift of a newly baptized child in your home. We also love the picture, as it gives us a sense of what an illuminating celebration was had in Lockport that day. We are honored to have been there in prayer and spiritual role and cannot wait to get to kiss that little tabernacle of yours.
Blessed be, sing Hallelujah! Thanks for sharing this sacred event which serves to remind us how special it is to feel the touch of the Creator through our children's' purity. Welcome to God's Family Seth, and congratulations KC, Ethan and Vivian. Our love goes out to you, Aunt KT.
