Under the care of the Discalced Carmelite Friars
Dear Parishioners,
Last weekend we enjoyed three wonderful celebrations, with 74 children making their First Communion. It was a joy to see their innocent faces full of expectation, and to see the effort their parents had made to dress them so beautifully and appropriately. I thank everyone involved in preparing the children, especially our school staff and our parish catechists, under the leadership of Fran Italiano and Linda Yapp. I would also like to thank Anabelle May and the staff, volunteers and friends of Personal Advocacy Service, for welcoming the children at their monthly PAS Mass.
