Lucia's Baptism con't


Lucia with her Godparents- Francesca and Alex. The gown that Lucia was baptized in has been in our family for 38 years. All of the "American" grandchildren and great-grandchildren have been baptized in this gown. My mom explained to me that her grandmother- my great-grandmother- bought this gown in Italy when my cousin Alex was born to be used in her baptism- and any other baptisms that followed. Children that have been baptized in this gown include: Alex, James, Chiara, Alessia, Nicholas, Francesca, Mark, Matthew, Emily, Christopher, Norah, Luke, Ethan, and Lucia!


Lucia did very well during the service- though she was a bit of a handful at times!


Lucia and her parents.


She didn't cry when Father John baptized her- she did very well.
