First Holy Communion
Last Sunday at 2pm Mass in Johnsonville, 39 children from our Parish
received the sacrament of Holy Communion for the first time. Afterwards
there was a special feast prepared for the children to enjoy. Thank you to
everyone who helped make this day so special, especially Fr Peter, Fr
Sebastian, Marie Eastwood, Victoria Cramer (who made the cake), and the
children’s choir from St Brigid’s. Please pray for these children as they
continue their journey of faith.
