On Sunday, April 27, 2025, 15 children received their First Holy Communion with their families and friends in attendance. The children, under the guidance of Terri Panuccio, K-6 Faith Formation director, have been preparing for this day for months. The children’s last names are not published due to diocesan guidelines that prohibit identifying children younger than 18.
