Ash Wednesday Infant

( back blip )

At 8 AM mass on Ash Wednesday this six month old baby girl was being held by her daddy. When I asked him if I could take her picture he swooped her up into the air and tried to get her to smile. It was so wonderful to see how playful he was with her.

Our Lady of the Valley is the only Catholic Church serving Greenvalley and Sahuarita, which is the town next door, occupied primarily by young Hispanic families. it is heartwarming to see these families whenever I attend church. I love seeing the children. It reminds me of the beginning of life while I'm surrounded throughout the rest of the week by the end of it.
