Engler Christening
Dec 30, 2008 (from Anne Fuerst)
The priest is Fr Chapin Engler, son of my cousin John.
John's dad Ernie was my mother's brother from Mason City. The babies belong to Fr Chapin's brothers [David & Steve? I will have to check.] I imagine the baptisms took place in NC where John & Peggy live.
Chapin was ordained June 2007 in W VA and serves a parish there. He is in his 40's. It is great to have a new Fr Engler !!

HI Anne,
I am indeed a a daughter in-law to John. Married to Steven, the youngest. We have 4 children. Our youngest (Lake) was one of the babies being christened in the photo. I am holding the little girl facing away from the camera (Ava-4). Steven is to my right holding Lake. Our other two children are at the baptismal fountain (Mamie Grace-8 and Ezra-10).
Kathleen, John's only daughter, has her hands on Ezra's shoulders. David and his wife Petra are holding their two children (John, the baby) and Sophie-3.
I enjoyed seeing the website you sent. That was really neat! Take care, Leigh
