First Holy Communion and May Crowning

First Holy Communions took place on the first Sunday of this month of Mary, on May 3, 2026, for ten First Communicants. The ceremonies began at 12:30 with the Procession from the Chapel, through the courtyard, to the Grotto of Our Lady of Fatima, the May Crowning, and then the procession back to the Chapel, followed by the Mass and First Communions. The First Communicants were priviledged to participate in honoring Our Lady at the May Crowning before Mass, and receiving the Brown Scapular after Mass.

After all the ceremonies, a festive reception took place in the courtyard for the First Communicants, their families and all guests. It was a grace-filled occasion in the young lives of ten of our faithful, as well as for all who assisted at this day's Mass and ceremonies.

A big thank you to all who helped prepare this beautiful day, especially the lovely May Crowning to begin this month dedicated to our Blessed Mother! Thank you as well to the parents who so diligently cooperated in the preparation of their children for this important milestone in their lives. A representative selection of photos are shown here, but the link below has all the lovely photos of the ceremonies. Please be sure to keep these children in your prayers. May the love of Our Eucharistic Lord grow stronger always in their hearts, and in ours.
