Brody's First Communion/Confirmation!

Yesterday Brody received his First Communion and Confirmation!!!  He chose my dad to be his sponsor throughout his full initiation  into the Catholic church!  Here is the testimony that my dad wrote about Brody.
"Brody is a typical young boy who is curious and anxious to know and experience the wonders of the world.
He has been raised in a good Catholic family and has attended Christian Formation classes.  Brody has
been a caring and giving person to his family, friends, and classmates.  He is a good example as a
disciple of Jesus and has practiced it everyday.   He listens to the knowledge and wisdom that his parents
and grandparents teach him and is thankful for their help.
      Receiving the sacrament of confirmation will help him have confidence and courage to give
testimony to his faith.  The Gift of the Holy Spirit will always be with him as he travels down the road
of life.  He'll then enjoy the experience of helping and giving to his fellow man and living in the spirit
of the Lord.  
      Brody is ready to be a full fleged member of the Catholic Church."   Jim Bazzell, Grandfather

My dad and Brody attended classes all last week in preparation of the BIG day.  This "saintly sash" was one of the assignments.  Brody wanted to learn more about St. Patrick.  He shared some interesting facts with his class.

We were so happy that Mimi and Great Gram could join us!

Grandpa Eddie and Debbie came too!!!
