On Sunday morning March 29, 2020 the Kellys were blessed by the birth of Elin Joan Kelly.  Amy and Joe newest baby girl joins her twin sisters Abigail & Beatrice, Elin’s name means “ray of sunshine”; in the current darkness of our world we need sunshine.

My son Joe wrote, “This morning at 1:33 a.m. we added to our clan of girls.  Elin Joan was born weighing 6 lbs. 11 oz and measuring 18 1/2 inches.  We chose the names Elin (derivative of Helen) and Joan to honor our respective maternal grandmothers.  

I learned this a.m. that name means ‘ray of sunshine’.  Although I am not one for social media or posting photos, given the current state of affairs, we wanted to share our 'ray of sunshine' with you all.  Stay safe, Stay Home.”

Carl Sandburg said, “A baby is God’s opinion that life should go on …. A baby represents life.”  Even as the COVID 19 Pandemic continues to spread Elin Joan Kelly is a 'ray of sunshine' who reminds us that God loves us and is with us on our journey.

Her picture is below and reminds us to “Walk joyously through life.  And if at times you cannot, at least walk with faith and courage.”  

[St. Francis de Sales]

The COVID 19 crisis will pass, but God’s love will never cease.

May God Be Praised!

We will continue our Scripture Stations tomorrow.
