  • I became a Catholic by Phyllis O'Boyle

The baby was fussy in her dress. We went to this big building and stood on a stage with a man dressed funny. He put water on all of our heads, and then he put water on the baby which made her cry and have one of her tantrums. Someone took a picture of us. That was the day I was baptized into the family of God.
