Faith In First
In Sunday's Gospel two of Jesus' friends recognize him when he breaks bread with them. Our lesson this week with the First graders helps the children recognize Jesus is present with us today in stories about him, in the Eucharist, and in the people who gather to remember him, and in the priest at Mass.
Let us celebrate the goodness in our children and the presence of Jesus all around us.
Alleluia Alleluia!!
