Preparation for First Eucharist

A school year of preparation is in the process of drawing to a close. Primarily second grade students from the Catholic School and Faith Formation program, 68 children are days away from receiving their First Eucharist. Tonight is the practice session for the 10am Sunday Mass.

56 second and third grade students will receive at the 10am Mass. Each of them will have a special part in the Mass. Some will do the readings. Others will say the prayer intentions. More still will be involved in the presentation of the gifts and dressing of the altar. Older siblings will be the servers and greeters for the Mass.

They will have the opportunity tonight to come together as an entire group and rehearse their parts as a final preparation for Sunday.

Last Sunday, the remaining 12 practiced for the noon Mass. For them, it is now just a countdown until their Mass. They are all in our prayers in these final days of spiritual preparation.
