MATTHIAS BEGS ENTRANCE AT THE CHURCH DOOR SO THAT HE CAN BE BAPTIZED. HE OUTGREW THE FAMILY BAPTISMAL GARMENT BUT IT SHOWS UP JUST AS IT HAS FOR A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS IN THE GATHERING AROUND THE BAPTISMAL FONT (HOLY CROSS CHURCH, GARRETT PARK, MARYLAND). THE PARENTS (MIKE AND LAURA) AND THE GRANDPARENTS (STEVE AND ANN) WERE SMILING MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. THIS MUST BE A SOLEMN PART OF THE READING!
