Holy Child Jesus parish, Richmond Hill, recently celebrated the birthday of two parishioners. Gisel Gaviria celebrated her 15th birthday and Millie Bello marked her 105th birthday.

After the blessing, Millie offered her flowers to the altar of Mary, so that she may bless “us” and “her” throughout her life. Shown, from left, Auxiliary Bishop Octavio Cisneros, pastor, Deacon Christopher Heanue, Gisel Gaviria and Millie Bello.
