    • A Note from Pastor Fr. Lukose, CMF


      Dear Children and Parents preparing for First Communion,

      Greetings of peace to all of you who have made the commitment to join the online Sacramental preparation program! I am so delighted to know that you are willing to participate remotely at this challenging time. It would have made me happy to see you in person for these sessions, but will pray we will have the opportunity to be together soon.
      For any celebration in life, you must make your best effort to make it happen well. Think about how excited are you to celebrate your graduation day or a special birthday? First Communion is your first encounter with Jesus in person as you receive the host. It is not just a ceremony.  It is your communion with Jesus who loved us even to the cross and promised to be with us always. 

      I encourage parents to watch alongside your children so that they may have loving memories of their First Communion day. I know it is a challenging time, but since we will not have any classes in the church, you need to give this preparation importance--remember, they look to you for guidance.
      My sincere thanks to the Holy Cross Sacramental Team for their dedication, creativity, and expression of faith. God bless you all. Don't forget to come back to church when the opportunity comes!

      Pastor Fr. Lukose, CMF
