Friday and Saturday pix

Here are some pix of the Choir School of Hartford as they sang yesterday morning at the Governor's Mansion in Hartford. If this were not the first time I was importing pictures into my blog, the Saturday pictures would be appearing after the event on Friday, which appears below.

As reported on Thursday, Friday afternoon I attended the ceremony at US District Court in which Elizabeth Moore was sworn in as a United States Citizen. She is pictured at left receiving her Citizenship Certificate from the Honorable John F. Droney, United States District Judge. If you look carefully between Elizabeth and Judge Droney, you will also see Trinity parishioner Emily LaCroix, who has been a close friend and supporter during Elizabeth's transition to life in the United States. Emily is getting the picture from the other side! With her were also Allison and Andrew Mafko, who call Elizabeth "Aunt Elizabeth." Today at church we will give thanks for Elizabeth's being made a citizen and also celebrate with a special cake in her honor following the service.
