He loves St. John Bosco and chose him for his confirmation name.

Talk about pressure! I pray daily for my Godchildren and also for the graces to be a good Godfather and/or sponsor. I think it's important to let them know I'm paying attention to what they are doing and to let them know I'm always there for them. It is also important to be a good example in all walks of life. I know he's young now, but he won't always be, and it will be important for him to have people in his life he can count on. I hope to be one of those people!

Thanks Be to God I can call on his patron saint St. John Bosco for help and to also pray for both of us! St. John Bosco, Pray for Us!

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!
