"Just about a year after moving to Saint Paul in October of 2024, my wife Caitlin gave birth to our twin baby girls, Claire and Madeleine. Having them baptized during mass at STM in February of 2026 solidified what we had felt since moving here: this is home. This is where we will raise our children."
