Religion

This week our Good News magazine prepared the children for Sunday’s liturgy by recognizing why some people didn’t believe in Jesus. We identified Firs Communion as a Sacrament of Initiation and celebrated our invitation to receive Jesus in First Holy Communion. We also recognized the importance of being a community.  On Wednesday we celebrated Mass with Father Scott presiding.
