Sacrament of First Holy Communion

Please keep our second graders in your prayers as they receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 11th. It has been a wonderful partnership between parents and school in preparing our children for this special day. We pray our children will continue to grow in their faith and congratulate them on receiving Christ for the first time in the Eucharist.
