Best News Ever

Share The Good News

Jesus came to share the Good News of God with His people. This Easter, many of our faith community will join the Catholic church more fully through the sacrament of First Eucharist. Help us welcome them!

Activity: Write a letter to one of our second grade students who will receive Christ in the Eucharist for the first time this spring. Share what it means to you being able to receive Christ in the Eucharist and offer your support and prayers as they come into full communion with the Church.
