Welcome To The Family II


Tonight Andy will be received as a Catholic at Easter Vigil at St. Patrick's Church, Anchorage. He has been going through RCIA since last fall and tonight will be confirmed and receive first communion. We are so happy for the whole Puckett family on this night. Our shared faith experience is such an important part of our marrioage and our family and we rejoice that Andy, Becca, Maia, and "Tiny" will also be able to have that experience as a family. Easter Vigil is my favorite liturgy of the year. Parts are so brazenly pagan and other parts so beautiful and ancient. For many years I have visualzed the Catholic community as this ancient caravan, winding through the ages, people together on the journey. Tonight Andy joins this particular group of people on the way. Again, welcome to the family.
