Brenna celebrated her First Holy Communion today at St. Peter's Church in Plymouth. It was a beautiful day for such a special occasion. She was very excited and has been waiting patiently for this day. Even though she goes to Catholic School, Brenna still had to take a year of CCD at our local parish in order to receive her First Communion. (Sacred Heart is not a Parish School so the students have to receive their Sacraments at their own Church.)
Fortunately, she was placed in a CCD class with five other kids from Sacred Heart (and one boy who had been in her class in Kindergarten). She truly enjoyed going to CCD every week and was sad when it ended. Each of the CCD classes received their First Communion at an assigned Mass. Brenna received hers today with the 11 other kids in her class at 9:00 AM Mass. She was very happy to lead in the procession with her friend Tyler and to have been chosen to read one of the Petitions as well.
Unfortunately, the Church would not allow us to take pictures during Mass. So, my photographs are limited to some group shots before and after Mass.
Brenna and her friends, Tyler and Jonathan. They have been friends since Kindergarten.
Brenna & Jonathan. They are great friends and we were so happy that they could share this day together.
Brenna and Elizabeth, Jonathan's older Sister and Brenna's former "Reading Buddy" at school. She loaned Brenna her gloves to wear today. And Brenna adores Elizabeth so she was thrilled.
(I have no idea what Andrew is doing in this picture!)
Brenna and Father Bob after Mass.
Great photos Shannon. Please tell Todd that our family photos at the alter came out very nice thanks to him! We truly appreciated it!
