Puer Natus Est!

Paul and Clare Metilly and their children welcomed the birth of their son, Peter David Metilly yesterday afternoon. What a great blessing to celebrate the birth of a child on this feast of the Presentation of the Lord! May he have the faith of the Prince of the Apostles and the courage of King David!
