Providence Raphael Anthony “Tony”
May 14, 2020 | |
Enjoy these photos of Providence Raphael Anthony (Tony) the son of Theodora (Dora) and Jubilee. Tony was born Sunday afternoon, April 26 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Sisters of Providence named him Raphael Anthony in honor of two people who speak to the challenging times in which we live. Saint Raphael the archangel is a patron saint of nurses, doctors and medical workers. Anthony is in honor of Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease at the National Institutes of Health.
Tony is a beautiful boy and looks just like his mamma! Dora and Jubilee make a great team and are proud as punch.

The other alpacas act like “aunties” when a new cria or baby alpaca is born.
A few days old and Tony already knows how to pose.
This isn’t Tony but rather his mother Dora when she was just a cria. Notice the strong resemblance?

Absolutely adorable.! Love the Alpacas and my sister, Barbara, and I visit them whenever we are at St. Mary’s. I also love the name you have chosen for this little guy….so fitting. I’m sure Dr. Fauci would be very pleased and honored!
God bless….everyone stay well!
