Welcome to you and your child to the beginning of the journey to the reception of Reconciliation and Eucharist. For First Communion 2020, names have been drawn to determine your Mass assignment. This is in keeping with the parish community aspect of the sacraments as mandated by the Archdiocese. The parish community comes together to celebrate as our young people join us at the table for Eucharist.
The First Communion Masses will take place during the regular weekend liturgies: 4:30pm on Saturday, April 25 and 9:00am and 11:00am on Sunday, April 26, 2020. Your assigned Mass is indicated on the form included in this mailing. This year, we are at capacity for each Mass. Any concerns with your assigned time should be emailed to nchacksfield@allsaints.cc so that we can put your name on a waiting list. We cannot guarantee any particular Mass time change.
Practice times for First Communion are:
Wednesday, April 22 4:00-5:15 pm for the Saturday 4:30pm Mass on April 25, 2020
Wednesday, April 22 5:30-6:45 pm for the Sunday 9:00am Mass on April 26, 2020
Wednesday, April 22 7:00-8:15 pm for the Sunday 11:00am Mass on April 26, 2020
The group photo will be Thursday, April 23 at 5:30 sharp. More detailed information will be available as the time draws nearer. Additionally, your assigned time for First Reconciliation is based on the First Communion Mass to which you are assigned.
This advance information is given in hopes that it will be easier for you to make plans and save important sacrament dates. Please be aware that we must have a copy of your child’s Baptismal certificate on file before the sacrament can be celebrated. We hope that you are your family have a safe and happy summer, and we look forward to seeing you this fall!
