On Sunday, May 18, 2008, twenty-four young people in our parish received Holy Communion for the first time.  In honor of this great occasion, they wore their very best!  Thanks to Chi Nguyen for the photo.

Gathered in the Chapel before Mass... excited and a little nervous!






The children join in the entrance procession at the beginning of Mass.




After the homily, the children's candles are lit, a reminder of the day of their baptism. 






Father Ryan invites the children and all present to renew the promises of their baptism, professing their faith in the Holy Trinity.




Remembering to say "thank you" to God for the gift of His Son, Jesus!






Lots and lots and lots of cameras to help these children remember this great day always.


Here the First Communicants are pictures with their catechists.  Congratulations, First Communicants!  God bless you... and see you next Sunday!  Thanks to Chi Nguyen for this photo.
