Andrea's First Communion Rites

The family that prays together, stays together

As catholics, we make sure that our children get to accept the sacrament of the First Communion. Andrea has been in CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) class for two years now. It is a class about the catholic religion and practices taught by volunteers in the Catholic Church we attend mass with every Sunday.

The thing is, here in the US, religion is not taught in schools, unlike in my native country, the Philippines. If you want your child to learn about the religion you're practicing, you either send her to catholic school, or baptist school, or send her to the weekly CCD classes. Since Andrea is in public school, she goes to CCD classes every Monday from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm.

The pictures above were taken during her first communion ceremony. As per request of Kuya Mel, I have our famiy picture taken after the ceremony.

Thank you so much Kathy for including your family picture in your post. It has been such a long time that I saw your family picture in your blog. It is great that Andrea has attended her First Communion. She is growing up to be a beautiful and smart girl. It's wonderful that your kids are being brought up in the fear of the Lord. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.
