Thank you for posting this, NYer...
The young man being anointed in the second photo is my son Billy, and my younger son is sitting next to me (I’m in the red) in the third picture.
The ceremony was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
It was a dream come true for my family and those of the other confirmandi.
Regards,
Hope the Latin comes back into fashion in more and more places, and soon.
Congratulations to Billy and kudos to you, mom! May our Lord bless all of you!
It was quite a beautiful surprise to see Bishop William Murphy go out of his way to accomodate the Latin community. And then to see the children dressed in the traditional robes and beanies, brought back fond memories and just touched my heart. Thanks to all your efforts, this day will be remembered by the children throughout their lives, which is as it should be.
Pax et Bonum
