Why?
“Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me,” Jesus said.
Luke 18:5

With God’s help we will so order our lives after the example of Christ, that these children surrounded by steadfast love, may be established in the faith, and confirmed and strengthened in the way that leads to life eternal.
