TO ALL PARENTS of a child that hasn’t yet received 1st
Communion:there has been a change in
guidelines. The Diocese requires that this sacrament be a two year preparation
class. This means that children will receive the sacrament of reconciliation at
the end of Grade 2 and 1st Communion will be celebrated at the end
of Grade 3. All children who have not received these sacraments must complete both years.
A
COMMEMORATION IN HONOR OF
ST.
FRANCIS
The Capuchin Franciscan Friars of St. Peter and St.
Dominic Churches will have a prayer service in commemoration of the death of
St. Francis of Assisi.
St. Francis died the night of October 3 and 4, 1226. The service of readings
and songs, which is called the “Transitus”, will be a prayerful reflection on
his life and death. The Service will be on Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 PM at St. Peter Church. All are
welcomed to attend. For more information, please call the Rectory.
