We had a beautiful First Communion Mass on April 21. The pictures came in yesterday and they are lovely! Click here to view the slide show of some of them. Each family can purchase pictures from the photographer. If you need to get in touch with her, call me.

Thanks to everyone who made this year's First Communion special: Father Patrick, Dcns. Andy, Bill, and Ryan, all of you parents and grandparents and godparents for your support and teaching throughout the year. Your children's faith is much stronger now because you took a particular place of "teacher" throughout the process of forming them. Remember this. It is your proper place. Father, the catechists, and I are only supporters in the teaching of the faith to your children. This role of spiritual leader in your family is not over, just beginning actually. You have many more years to be an example to your children in living YOUR faith. God blessed us with these children and He expects us to bring them to Him on a regular basis. Not just Sundays, though that is of utmost importance, but everyday in prayer. Bless your children in all they do, pray with them and for them, guide them in their endeavors. And bring them back to RE next year, ready to continue their "formal" faith education. We will do our part and we are grateful you are doing yours!

Blessings to all our First Communicants in our parish and around the world!

Welcome to the Table!
