On Sunday May 20th five children of our parish received the presence of Jesus in Holy Communion for the first time. They went through lessons learning the basics of Christian faith. The Sacrament of Confession took place on Friday May 18th after their rehearsal for this special event.
During Holy Mass the children read the Prayers of the Faithful.
We congratulate:
- Natalie Joanne Cyman daughter of Fr. Joseph and Renata (Bujak) Cyman,
- Kaylee Ann Gonzalez, daughter of Julio Gonzalez and Ella Anaya,
- Ariana Rixana Rubio, daughter of Carlos Rubio and Sonia Garcia,
- Vanessa Smith, daughter of Claudio Negrini and Lisa Smith, and
- David Edwin Torres, son of Edwin Torres and Maria E. Morales.
We had the privilege of Fr. Stanley Kural’s presence to concelebrate Holy Mass. Fr. Kural served Resurrection Parish in Brooklyn for many years.
I thank parents for their input in preparing their children for the First Holy Communion celebration. They sponsored flowers that beautified the sanctuary and the soloist who with our organist Neil Estanislao performed solo pieces such as Ave Maria (Hail Mary) and Panis Angelicus (Bread from Heaven) – Father Joseph
