Confirmation

Rudy invited us to his cousin, Vannessa's confirmation on Mother's Day.  We went to St. Joseph's Catholic Church for the 11 AM service and watched as 60 were confirmed.  Each of the confirmands went through two years of weekly confirmation classes with their Dads.  We enjoyed joining a packed sanctuary with a congregation of mostly immigrants from all over the world.  Vannessa was beautiful, dressed in white.  We joined her family and friends at McCormick Park for a picnic later in the afternoon.  The meal was delicious and topped off with chocolate and strawberry tres leche cakes. We had a great time!  We were honored to be part of such a special day for Vannessa.
