PREPARATIONS END/ CELEBRATIONS ARE NIGH

Dear Saint John’s School Families,

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”     Matthew 19:14    

Our Saint John’s second graders and eighth graders have been       carefully preparing for a very important milestone in their lives.      Receiving the Sacrament of the EUCHARIST and CONFIRMATION are two very special happenings in the life of a student here at Saint John’s Catholic School. 

What a blessing it is to have the instruction for these Sacraments be a part of the curriculum taught every day.    The excitement builds as tomorrow morning, Saturday, May 4,  our younger children make their FIRST HOLY COMMUNION.  How beautiful and precious they will be as they receive the EUCHARIST and realize this is an intimate union with CHRIST JESUS!  No doubt, each of us attending this special Mass will have fond memories of our own First Holy Communion.

The second extraordinary date on our school calendar is when our oldest students receive the sacrament of CONFIRMATION.  Archbishop Aquilla will confirm our eighth grade students on Wednesday, evening, May 15^th.   Both our younger and oldest students are very well         prepared to receive these two sacraments.

Please join us in the celebration and happiness for our students .

Shalom,

Mrs. Schmitt
