She gives herself to her parents...

Welcome to Kayla Susan Barry, daughter of Craig and Sandy Barry and the newest member of the SJS Family!

"The Newborn Child gives herself to her parents by the very fact of her coming into existence. Her existence is already a gift: the gift of the Creator to his creature." - Pope Saint John Paul II
