SACRAMENTAL PREP

Dear First Holy Communion Parents,

Congratulations to the first half of our First Holy Communicants!  What a great weekend!

A few reminders:

• Parents will go up together into the sanctuary to receive Holy Communion after your child receives.  If one of the parents is not a practicing Catholic, please come forward with your arms crossed over your chest to receive a blessing.  

• Remind your children that after receiving our Lord in the sacrament, they are walking tabernacles and should reverently (hands back in prayer position) return to their seats to pray.  It's so exciting being one with the Lord!

  
  
  
  

• "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day."  The 3rd commandment obligates us to keep attending Mass on Sundays to receive the Eucharist and Communion.  We remember Jesus' resurrection and rest and worship on this very special day.
