Today we celebrated my niece Michaela's baptism at St. Anne's Church. It was refreshing to attend a happy event after having spent too much of last year at church due to sorrowful occasions.
Going to church, especially to St. Anne's, reminds me of Cyn. She always actively and consistently practiced her faith. Cyn attended CCD every year while growing up, even taking the time to teach pre-school and kindergarten Sunday School classes when she was older.
She was also an altar server from grade school through high school. She went to church every Sunday, even on holy days of obligation, and completed all nine of the Simbang Gabi early morning mass novenas at least a couple of times.
In addition to practicing her faith as a devoted Catholic, she also lived her faith through the love and kindness that she shared with everyone she met. I also remember that she had a shiny navy blue and gold keychain on her college backpack that had the letters "PCG" on it. PCG stands for "Precious Child of God", and Cyn is a shining example of what that means.
