Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Our dd, McKenna will be receiving her First Holy Communion on Friday, Feast Day of Mary, Mother of God! Our dear friend, Fr Kevin will be here to give her Jesus, and the grandparents are coming in town too. We knew she was ready and what a great way for her to start the new year. We are all looking forward to God's blessings and a beautiful year in 2010.
Please remember her on this special day. Despite everything we went through this summer, she never stopped her studies, readings and preparations.

This is beautiful, and what a wonderful day to have it...and to start off the New Year with it!

We will be praying for your family in a special way....she has a special saint now in heaven praying for her.

How perfectly lovely! I'll pray for her at Mass on Friday! (And before then, too, of course...)

What a perfectly lovely way to celebrate Mary's feast and to begin a new year! I'll remember to pray for McKenna especially at Friday's Mass.

Peace,
Nancy

Thank you all, she is making her second confession in the morning before Mass. She is tickled pink! Her dad ( he's TDY) and Fr Kevin arrive hopefully tomorrow night ( late) and her grandparents get in later New Years Eve. Maybe offer a quick prayer that I don't forget anything or anybody!
