FIRST HOLY COMMUNION, A WONDERFUL MOMENT IN ONE'S FAITH PILGRIMAGE!

This Sunday, May 2nd, our second graders will be receiving their First Holy Communion at a special 2:00 PM Mass. Below are pictures of Easter Vigils, the Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Elect from 2010 receiving their First Holy Communion. The final photo is the First Holy Communion class of last year, 2009. I think everyone is moved when God's children come to Him in such a special way!
