saturday evening my mother took her final steps to being a catholic. she has attended, not regularly, for about three years, a catholic church out of town when visiting friends… then for over six months now she has been taking classes at the local catholic church, St. Mary’s. it was a very neat experience, as it was easter vigil as well and me not knowing much about the catholic religion. we stood outside around a fire for awhile. and the church was dark most of the tme with us holding small cadoles. ,p, was so glad to be the one to have like two full pews of family there to support. the ceremony was long, three hours to be exact.. before hand.. her friends leeanne and becky, her sponser kathy, my sister and her boyfriend, my aunts debbie and lori and i (no baby sitter so douglas got to stay home with the kiddos) went out to eat mexican.. i am so glad that she had so many loved ones with her, as my brother and his girlfriend and another aunt and uncle showed up at the ceremony.. she got some really neat gifts from everyone…
me, mother, and my sister before…
the ceremony…
way to go mom!! we’re very proud of you!!
