We're very proud of him and are very blessed to have him become a "Soldier of Christ". The Mass was beautiful with an awesome homily by Bishop Hebda. Luke was also selected to carry up the gifts during Mass. It was a special night for our family. Afterwards Bishop Hebda told Luke that he had made a wonderful choice for his sponsor. Thanks Be to God! St. Nicholas, Pray for Us!

Its not easiest to take pictures in the church, but here's a few I managed to grab!

It's been very special for our family to go through this journey with her. She has grown and learned (me too!) so much and we feel very blessed! She was also able to wear my wife's wedding veil, so that was extra special as well! Here's a couple of pictures from her joyous day.

Growing up Lutheran, I didn't experience the Catholic Sacraments first-hand and it's been a blessing for myself as I continue to learn more and grow in our faith. I'm very thankful for all God has given me, especially my first child becoming an official member of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church!
