Over 100 Second Graders Make First Holy Communion
On Saturday, May 12, 116 second graders enrolled in our parish school and CCD program received their First Holy Communion at two Masses – 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. We congratulate all those who encountered Christ for the first time in the Eucharist, and we pray that they will continue to grow in their faith. We thank the parents for their continued model and education of their children in the Catholic faith, as well as our school teachers and CCD catechists.
The night before the children made their First Communion, everyone attended a Holy Hour in the basilica to prepare themselves even more to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist.
“It is always a joy for me to celebrate this sacrament for our boys and girls. They are so eager and reverent in receiving Our Lord in the Eucharist for the first time. They are truly inspirational. My prayer is that they will continue to approach their Catholic faith, especially the Holy Eucharist, with the same devotion for the rest of their lives.”
Very Rev. Edward Hathaway, Bulletin Column, May 6, 2018.
