We were invited to my cousin’s son – Logan’s first communion at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Shad Bay last week. It was a wonderful ceremony. Family and friends filled the church to witness this event and special day for kid’s special day. We bought a miraculous medal as a gift for Logan and it quite teary to see how all the kids had grown so much. We all headed for lunch after the ceremony in a Mexican restaurant and everyone was delighted to see the miraculous medal that we had bought for Logan and wanted to know where they can get one too – as gift for their friends and family in the future. When I was a kid – the parish that we go to – used to have a little store for all the different medals that one can buy – but not here – therefore, it was great to be able to get a special medal for my cousin’s son. My mom used to make us wear the medal of St Christopher all the time – because St Christopher took care of all the little children. I bought one for each of my kids too when they were younger.
