Jake's Christening

Just short of his five month birthday, Jake was welcomed into the Roman Catholic Church community of believers. He was baptized on September 20, 1998 at St. Andrew On The Bay Roman Catholic Church, the same church where Jake's parents were united in Holy Matrimony. Sponsoring Jake into the Church were Aunt Bernadette and Uncle Greg.   Since Uncle Greg was not able to make it personally, Uncle Andy stepped in and stood as proxy for Uncle Greg. After the celebration, everyone went over to Jake's house where Mom had made lasagna and bundt cake with raspberries.  Yum!
