Lord Jesus Christ, in the Sacrament of
the Eucharist You left us the outstanding
manifestation of your limitless love for us.
Thank You for giving these children the
opportunity to experience this love
in receiving the Sacrament for the first time.
May your Eucharist presence keep them
ever free from sin, fortified in faith,
pervaded by love for God and neighbor,
and fruitful in virtue, that they may
continue to receive You throughout life and
attain final union with You at death. Amen.
Saint John the Baptist,
Forerunner of the Messiah, prepare the way for Jesus in
the hearts of these children.
Saint Tarcisius,
Keep safe the children who are making their
First Communion.

Spiritual Insight
From Saint Josemaria Escrivá
If you live the “life of childhood,” you should have the sweettooth of a child, a “spiritual sweet-tooth”! Like those “of your
age”, think of the good things your Mother keeps for you.
And do so, many times a day. It’s a matter of a moment:
Mary…Jesus…the
tabernacle…
communion…
love…suffering…the holy souls in purgatory…those who are
fighting: the pope, the priests…the faithful… your soul…the
souls of your people…the guardian angels…the sinners…
Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, heal me.
Blood of Christ, drench me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
Good Jesus, hear me.
In Your wounds shelter me.
From turning away keep me.
From the evil one protect me.
At the hour of my death call me.
Into Your presence lead me,
to praise You with all Your saints
for ever and ever. Amen.
(7 years indulgence if prayed after receiving Holy
Communion. 300 days indulgence at any other time.)

Annual Diocesan Appeal. Currently, we have
pledges of $24,434 toward our goal of $42,642. A
gift to the ADA, no matter how great or small can go
a long way. Each pledge of $10 or $20 a month
adds up. A one-time gift is helpful to the cause as
well. To those who have contributed, we are most
grateful. If you have not yet made a gift to the
ADA, we invite you to do so today. There are pledge
cards in the pews. Every dollar raised to make our
goal supports important diocesan services and every
dollar raised over our goal will be kept in the parish.
Mass of Thanksgiving for
2015 First Communicants
