First Holy Communion

Parish Life, PNCC /

Our parish joyfully witnessed the celebration of First Holy Communion on Sunday May 21st. We congratulate Diego, Justin, Jazlyn, Arianna, Jhyanna and two adults Kandri and Stefanie who received Holy Eucharist for the first time. We thank Mary Vitaletti for helping Fr. Joseph in providing First Holy Communion classes for children. During the Holy Mass, the children and two adults participated in the liturgy be reading the Prayers of the Faithful and bringing to the altar the offertory gifts of bread and wine. We thank parents for their help and support as well as for sponsoring beautiful flowers for this special occasion. We thank our organist, lector, altar servers, greeters, and ushers who served at the Holy Mass and everyone who attended the liturgy last Sunday. In the Holy Eucharist, Jesus Christ is really present under the forms of bread and wine. He gives us himself as a food for our souls. The bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of our Lord during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the priest or bishop says the words of consecration which Jesus used during the Last Supper: This is My Body… This is My Blood.
