Joy in Our Parish
Rejoice in the birth of Alice Mae Dehner! Alice and Gary Dehner became grandparents to Alice Mae Dehner. She was born in Pensacola, Florida on May 16th at 10:44 p.m. - 19.5 inches long, 6 pounds 9 ounces, with black hair. Her parents are Christian and Leanne Dehner. Let us pray. O God, you have taught us through your blessed Son that whoever receives a little child in the name of Christ receives Christ himself: We give you thanks for the blessing you have bestowed upon this family in giving them a child. Confirm their joy by a lively sense of your presence with them, and give them calm strength and patient wisdom as they seek to bring this child to love all that is true and noble, just and pure, lovable and gracious, excellent and admirable, following the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
