Sydna's First Communion

Sydna did her First Communion on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010, during the Easter Vigil Mass. I am very proud of her for choosing to do this.

The first thing that was done was the Blessing of Fire and Lighting of the Easter Candle.

Once the Easter candle was lit all the Candidates then lit their candles from it. After that was done we went back inside the Church.

Then there was the Presentation of Candidates for Baptism. That's where Nathan was to observe and now on his way back to us.

Now on to the Celebration of Confirmation:  "Veni Sancte Spiritus".

 See the shiny part in between Sydna's eyebrows? Well, it's not that she's got oily skin, that's where the Priest anointed the oil.

How sweet they look ... if only the would constantly behave in this way. They love to play the blaming game at home.

Easter Vigil Mass was nice and there was one particular song that was upbeat and was very catchy and didn't really sound religious. That's the first time I can say that we all enjoyed a song at Church.
