Although several weeks have passed since the celebration of the Easter Vigil on Saturday, April 11, offering a welcome to the three persons who became Catholic at that Mass is important enough to remember now. 

Receiving the Sacrament of Baptism was Kevin Felix.  His wife, Elizabeth Felix made her Profession of Faith.  Kevin and Elizabeth are now one family in faith, along with their one year-old daughter, Emily, who was baptized last year.  Kevin is the son of Kirk and Patricia Felix of Kansas City.  He is a student in the McPherson College Auto Restoration Program.  Elizabeth is the daughter of Scott and Tammy Watford.  They, along with Elizabeth's brother Josh, joined the Catholic Church at St. Joseph's in 2008.  Elizabeth is a para-educator at Eisenhower Elementary, here in McPherson. 

Also making her Profession of Faith was Jaycee Gfeller of St. Bridget of Sweden Parish in Lindsborg.  She is a student at Bethany College and the daughter of Ronald and Aimee Gefeller of Lindsborg.  Jaycee's parents and family also preceeded her in joining the Catholic Church last year in Russell, Kansas.

Acting as sponsors for the newly initiated were Mike Shaughnessy, sponsoring Kevin, Edith Shaughnessy, sponsoring Elizabeth, and Suzanne Chambers, sponsoring Jaycee.

May God bless these new members of our Catholic Church, and may their example of faith inspire our own!
