Bill will be making his First Communion on July 21st. I'm guessing that it will be preceeded by his First Confession and a Profession of Faith and followed by his Confirmation. However, details are sketchy, mostly because he's worried that if he tells me too much, he's afraid I will start crying.

Will you pray for him as he prepares for his sacraments?

That is just too, too awesome. I'm crying, too. How wonderful to have your dh make this huge step. Praying with you and for you all. And how beautiful for the children to see this, too!

Thank you for all your prayers! Tonight is his First Confession, so if you have an opportunity to send up an "Ave" for him...

Praying for him today, Rachel. Since I've been mostly out of the loop for a couple weeks I missed this. Very exciting.
