St. Benedict R.C. School First Holy Communion

Religion and spirituality are an important part of the curriculum of St. Benedict R.C. School.  The students in Standard III have been preparing for First Holy Communion since January.  Recently seven students received their first communion at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church.  The students were all dressed up and sat nervously in the pews, reciting their prayers, and answering the questions Father Perl asked.  After receiving communion the students talked excitedly about how the communion wafers tasted and how it stuck to the roof of their mouths.  After church we enjoyed a small reception at St. Benedict.  It was nice day and I was glad to be able to share in the joyous occasion.
