exciting day for the pa
rishioners o f St. Patrick’s
Catholic Church as they
celebrated three very im
portant events.
First, it was the Feast
of Corpus Christi, when
Catholics celebrate the tra
dition and belief in the Real
Presence o f Jesus in the
Eucharist.
Secondly, six faith-
filled boys made their first
Holy Communion.
Last, but certainly not
least, the church’s newly

ful and sacred event was
a day to be forever trea
sured. The students worked
with their teachers, Joe
Lindsay and Mary Ann
Elguèzabal, to learn the
many, many requirements
for the sacrament of pen
ance and the sacrament of
the Holy Eucharist. When
the students were having a
bit of trouble learning the
Ten Commandments, the
seven sacraments and the
precepts of the church, Joe
Lindsay set the information
to music. Quite remarkably,
they learned the material in
a jiffy.
The boys read the
prayer intentions and also
brought up the gifts during
the offertory. Dillan carried
a beautiful golden box rep

that each would receive.
