Dear Parishioners,
Next Saturday, April 27, 74 of our children will receive their First Holy Communion. As a parish community, we rejoice and celebrate as we welcome our young people to the table of the Lord to receive Jesus in the Eucharist.
I ask all of us to pray for these children that they may stay close to the Lord throughout their lives and always be grateful for the Eucharist. I ask that you pray that through the Eucharist, the children may build a personal relationship with Jesus, and deepen their faith. May their faith be their strength for the journey.
As we celebrate with the children, let us reflect on the gift of the Eucharist in our own lives, and what it means to us, personally. May this time of First Holy Communion be not only a time to celebrate, but also a time of grace.
God bless us all!
Fr. Citino
