Yes, he was named John so that the name Innocent wouldn't be a burden to him... His father was a priest in Alaska when his first two children were born and both he and my mil developed a great love for the Alaskan Saints while there and named their third son Peter after Saint Peter the Aleut!
Many years to Fr. John!
ReplyDeleteIs he named for St. Innocent (who was also Fr. John)?
