First Holy Communion

On April 27th, Grace received her First Holy Communion.  It was a beautiful spring day to celebrate a beautiful occasion at St. Peter Chanel.  She was very excited and eager to receive, along with about 60 other children from the parish.  
May the Body of Christ always nourish your spiritual needs and may you always turn to the Eucharist as your source of strength and love throughout your life, Grace!







After the Mass, we held a party in our home to celebrate the sacrament.  In attendance were, Grandma, Uncle Andy and Asher, Aunt Beth, Nana, cousins Sandy and Carol, the Kevin Pinto family, the Romine family, the Nicolosi family, and the  Schoenecke family.
Holy cards we had made for the occasion






The boys read the blessing cup prayers 
In our parish, you make first communion with your parish and they offer it 3 times per year.  Since the kids go to an archdiocesan school, not all her classmates are from our parish and so there were only a handful of her friends making the sacrament the same day....one of them was her good buddy Jillian.
So thankful Grace's godfather, Uncle Andy, could make the trip to be there for her special day!
