First Holy Communion

Saturday, May 4, 2013: Today we celebrate First Holy Communion and children from our parish - filled with great joy, enthusiasm and purity - will receive the Lord Jesus for the first time. What a great moment in their lives! In 2011 Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI spoke to a group of first communicants and said, "The day of my First Holy Communion was one of the most beautiful days of my life. It is the same for you, isn’t it? And why is that? It’s not only because of our nice clothes or the gifts we receive, nor even because of the parties! It is above all because, that day, we receive Jesus Christ for the first time! When I receive Communion, Jesus comes to live in me."

To receive Holy Communion always makes our day beautiful.
