Ann's First Holy Communion

This past weekend Ann made her First Holy Communion.


It was a beautiful day watching her receive the greatest gift.

During the homily the priest had the children take part in a "treasure hunt".  Scattered around the church were clues representing important symbols of our faith, such as the baptismal font and the Paschal Candle.  Each clue led to the final "treasure"....the Tabernacle.

Ann answered one of the clues correctly and had to retrieve the next clue for Monsignor.



She also took part in the Offertory Procession.


  So proud of that girl.

We had some pretty awesome altar servers that day, too.

Billy and Mary
I also have to mention that big sister Mary helped Ann get dressed for the day.  She did Ann's hair
and put on her veil.  So lucky to have that girl as my helper.


 That special moment of receiving Jesus for the first time in the Eucharist.

God Bless Ann Theresa!

    Kathleen and Bill, you both deserve so much praise for all that you do to raise faith-filled children and to provide all of us with the opportunity to celebrate with you. Dad and I were so grateful and felt so blessed to be part of this wonderful day for Ann and the family. Thank you so much! xo
