Prize pupils

We’ve been preparing our nieces Angie and Amy to make their first communion. We talked to the pastor at Gina’s parish and got a preparation booklet from him, and spent several weekends working through the exercises with the kids. We thought they were well prepared and they were eager to receive the sacrament, so this morning we went to see the pastor for an interview.

As expected Angie and Amy passed with flying colors. The pastor was clearly impressed, pulling back in his chair several times. Amy even recited the order for the communion procession, down to which color of wood container you place your wine glass in whether it’s clean or used. I’m confident few candidates went into such minute detail, and tomorrow they’ll be taking the gifts up at Mass and receiving their first communion.

Congratulations, Amy and Angie! You’ve made your teachers proud!
