Picture-Taking
None during Mass please. Our parish photographer will take them and make them available on the parish website. After Mass, you may use your camera in the piazza for group and individual pictures with the pastor. No video cameras please.
Reception
Light refreshments immediately following Mass in the Piazza.
Seating Assignments
Children will sit together as a group with their catechists and receive First Holy Communion as a group after all other parishioners have received.
Further Preparation
Attend Mass every Sunday. Make sure that all family members who will be receiving Holy Communion during the Mass are Catholics in good standing and have made a good confession so that they are not conscious of grave sins that have not been confessed. This is a great day for all to receive Him worthily.
Family Readiness
Within your family, make it a point to stress the spiritual significance of your child’s First Holy Communion to your child’s other siblings and to other members of the family. This can be a moment of spiritual renewal for many within your family!
