It's a boy!

A new alpaca cria was born at White Violet Farm Alpacas today. Providence Vincennes, "Vinnie," was born this morning to Providence Providentia, "Tia." He was up walking and nursing by noon.

Vinnie is light fawn in color and was 13 1/2 pounds at birth.

The Sisters of Providence have had a ministerial connection with Vincennes since the Congregation's founding years dating back to 1840 and the time of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, the Congregation's foundress.

More than 60 alpacas have been born at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods since the herd was introduced in 1998.

He sure is a cutie!
