Erin's Christening bonnetErin's Christening took place on Sunday, December 14 at St. Michael's, located a block and one-half from our home. It was a wonderful event, and very sentimental for me as it was where my friend Emmett Steele was memorialized after he died in 1995. Monsignor Ken Velo agreed to conduct the service, which was a thrill for both Sheila and myself to have someone of his stature presiding. He is a wonderful man who never forgets a name or fact, and was introduced to us years ago by my friend Peter Garvy.
Throughout the private service, Erin never cried once. The only noise she made was to try and talk along with Monsignor Velo as he went through the service. I guess she thought that it was only right that the star of the event be heard!
We asked Sheila's sister and brother-in-law Maureen and Mike Niski to be the God Parents. They have raised two amazing girls and are the perfect choice for Erin. Incidentally, their daughters Caroline and Megan were both starters as a junior and freshman respectively on St. Charles High School's girls volleyball team. They gave everyone a thrill by winning the state championship in November.
