St. Joseph is my patron saint and my husband (then fiance) and I chose to include a prayer/ dedication to the Holy Family in our wedding ceremony. We asked if we could include the statue on the altar. As a surprise, the priest who had originally given the statue to my parents found another one. He is the priest who baptized me just after I was born, and the older priest you can see in the background. He co-celebrated our wedding. After our wedding I brought the statue with me to my new home in the USA. And here it now has a place of honour on our mantle.faerieevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197826244480048381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-467216840069502930.post-86134294642397541662011-01-01T20:59:23.115-08:002011-01-01T20:59:23.115-08:00I'm winging it, too, with new (3 month old) ba...I'm winging it, too, with new (3 month old) baby in arm. I'll have to Google the Motivated Moms planner. Sounds like something I could use. :)<br /><br />BTW--I love your header! What a beautiful rendering of the Holy Family!Hallie @ Moxie Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305104583222425124noreply@blogger.com
