First Communion


“This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many. Amen, I say to you, I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

We prepare the liturgy for young disciples who will dine on the Sacred Body and Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus for the first time. They will dine in the Kingdom of Heaven.
