First Communion is a combined event with our Second grade school and CCD classes. This year, First Communion will take place at Holy Trinity Church.
Please bring your child to the second grade classroom at Holy Trinity School no later than 9:40am. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Metzger will bring the children over to the church.
When you go into the church, your child's banner will be hanging on your family's pew. That entire pew is reserved for your family. If any other family members or friends are still in need of a seat, they may choose a seat in the back pews.
The children will be processing in as the first song is being sung. The children are to sit right beside the aisle, as they will be going together first to receive Communion. After they receive Communion, they will sit at the end of the pew until your family is ready to reenter the pew after receiving Communion. Then they are to walk back to their place beside the aisle.
Father Steve is allowing flash photography during the sacramental service. He is asking that there be no one getting out of the pews to take pictures, as this would distract the children. There will also be plenty of opportunities to take pictures after the service.
At the end of Mass, the children will follow Father Steve and the alter servers outside. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Metzger will be lining the children up on the steps for pictures. Please exit the church through the side doors. In the evnt of rain, we will take group pictures inside the church.
Please take your child's banner with you. Afterr pictures are taken, please proceed to the school gym for light refreshments and to pick up your child's certificate.
