Happy Rosie

Marie Rose is a very happy little girl who loves to share her smile.

Our New Ukrainian Catholic

This past weekend Rosie received the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. But the festivities started before this weekend. About a week before the baptism Margaret and I (as well as Rosie) met with Father for our baptism class. There Margot was "churched" and Roise had the "prayer of naming"

Then on Saturday the big day arrived.

First Rosie was made a catechumen at the back of the church. Then Father carried her in a purple cloth (representing original sin) to the front of the church.

She was then baptized and vested in her baptismal clothes.

We did not get any photos of the Chrismation (confirmation for you Roman Riters) or First Holy Communion. 

Parents and God Parents

Welcome Rosie!

Marie Rose Schay was welcomed into our family on Saturday, October 6, at 4:25 am. She weighed 7 lb and 15 oz and was 21 in long. She is the sweetest and most beautiful little girl we could ever ask for.
