First Communion school mass

Today was special because the 2nd graders were able to celebrate their First Communion with the rest of the school. 

 

First Holy Communion

“I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”

– John 6:35

Connor received First Holy Communion today.  It was an awesome day and an amazing thing to be a part of.

Two of his biggest fans even dressed up to celebrate with him. 

 

 

Connor and his good friend Noah and below it some of the boys from his class.

 

 

 

 

Bringing the gifts up…

 

 

If only my big butt would have been back a little more you could have seen Connor better. ;)

I got a little teary eyed watching him.  He was so excited. 

 

 

 

The kids sang a song called “We Come to  You”  that was just beautiful and of course made me cry again.

 

With Father and his teacher Mrs. H.

 

 

 

Check out Nolan through all of these…. (are you beginning to see a pattern?! )

 

 

Connor was fortunate to have family come and support and celebrate with him. 

 

Thank you for being Connor’s biggest fans and thank you to those of you who joined us.

 

Dearest Connor -

May you always feel as close to Jesus as you do today.
May you always count on Him to gently guide you on your way.
May you always trust in God to answer every single prayer.
May you always feel Him blessing you with tender, loving care.

I LOVE you and am so proud of who you are.  The best part was hearing you whisper to me after communion that “this feeling was even better than how you felt after Reconciliation”
