There’s something truly special about preparing for First Holy Communion—the excitement, the curiosity, and the growing understanding of just how sacred the Eucharist is. This week, Father John recorded a heartwarming moment: he sat down to read them a beautiful book about receiving Jesus for the first time. The Night Before My First Communion by Natasha Wing. With his gentle voice and joyful spirit, Father John helped bring the mystery and meaning of the Sacrament to life, reminding our young ones that this isn’t just a milestone—it’s the beginning of a lifelong friendship with Christ.
