What is the greatest gift a mother could get on Mother's Day? Diamonds, of course! But, a close second (I kid, I kid) is for a child to receive his First Holy Communion. And there is no better place to receive one's First Holy Communion than here:

| Luckily Canon told the children which parts they were supposed to listen to. |

| Consecration |
 |
| Receiving First Holy Communion |
 |
| Believe it or not, no veils caught on fire and no boys set fire to the church. |

I had to share the blue cassocks again because
I LOVE them. |

| Enrollment in the Brown Scapular. |

Getting ready to be photographed as a group.
That lady up there is amazing as she is the one who gets this all together every year.
She also tells great jokes. |

| The Canons and Abbe about to hand out the gifts (which were lovely, by the way). |

| What goes better with a Lego Batman t-shirt than a brand new crucifix??? |
I hope you had a blessed Mother's Day as well.
Ha! That last photo reminds me of my oldest on his First Holy Communion day. I had him in a crisp white suit for the occasion. After Mass at the reception if you looked close (without his jacket covering) you could see through his pants.... his Spiderman underwear. ;)
ReplyDeleteDear MC,
ReplyDeleteMy, those were large scapulars that Canon was presenting to each of the children--I am certain that they must be virtually indestructible! First Communion was another beautiful day in the Land of de Sales. Thank you for the very kind compliment.
