Communion Retreat
The First Communion Retreat is this Saturday, April 17, from 9 to 11:00. This is a “child only” event. Please remember that Mrs. Walters is looking for some parents to stay and help put together banners while the students are in their workshops. During this time your child will work with the other Communicants, including the CCD students. They will be placed in groups and move from activity to activity. These activities include making unleavened bread, making the altar banner, a craft project, practicing receiving, and practicing music for Mass. This event is only open to those who are receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Thank you!
