First Holy Communion Class of 2008
18th May, 2008
We congratulate our children who have received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion for the first time this year.
"This is what I have received from the Lord, and in turn passed on to you: that on the same night that he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and thanked God for it and broke it and he said, "This is my body which is for you; do this as a memorial of me." In the same way he took the cup after supper, and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. When you drink it, do this as a memorial of me."
Saint Paul's Letter to the Corinthians (11:23-27)
