Luke's First Communion

Today was a blessed, beautiful day in Luke's faith journey as he celebrated his First Communion. We were up bright and early and off to 8 a.m. Mass to join the other families from his Religious Education Class. God’s light that shines through Luke is amazing to see, and he was so reverent and thoughtful about today. Congratulations, Luke! We are so very proud of you!

windows in our Church.

Each child made a banner to hang on the 

end of the pew reserved for their family.

Luke's banner included a photo from his baptism,

a family pic, and a painted cross. He also wrote

a few sections. One said, "I'm thankful for 

God's grace, my family, my friends & learning." 

He included his favorite activities: reading,

ping pong, basketball, legos, baseball.

All dressed up!

After Mass, we returned home for a 

family brunch of Baked French Toast

Casserole, Crispy Prosciutto & Scallion

Frittata, and Fruit Salad. We were going

to get a cake for the celebration, but

Luke doesn't like cake as much 

as cookies ... so we made a 

Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake instead!
