“I am the bread of life” - John 6:35
On the occasion of the Feast of Blessed Virgin Mary last September 8, we had a joyous celebration of first Holy Communion at our Guanella Center. Eight children received the First Holy Communion, four of which were special children. The children had an intensive preparation to receive the Lord for the first time. Mrs. Marsha , Mrs.Vilma Ramos and our seminarians were the ones who conducted the First Communion training. The over all celebration was beautiful and very meaningful, that is to say, we had living Rosary before the Holy Mass with the children and their families and people connected to our Center participating in prayer. Fr. Soosai Rathinam, the Vice Provincial Superior, was the one who lead the living Rosary and he too was sharing his inspirational message on Mama Mary to our people at Guanella Center. The children, during the celebration, offered colorful roses to Mama Mary with a great enthusiasm. Soon after the Mass, the Certificates and religious articles were distributed to the children who had received the First Holy Communion. A delicious lunch was served after. The Holy Mass was presided by Fr. Eduardo Cerbito, SC and Fr. Selvaraj Antonisamy. Indeed, it was the day of spiritual nourishment for our children and all of us who attended this celebration. We the servants of charity are very grateful to God who, through our prayers, made this function more meaningful and spiritually enriching. We also would like to thank the people who had been involving and preparing enthusiastically for the smooth run of this Celebration of First Holy Communion.
