It was a special day for 20
girls and 9 boys as they received their First Holy
Communion last Sunday afternoon. They left the Old
Parish church at 4.45pm and walked to the Ghajnsielem
parish together. A mass was then concelebrated by
Archpriest Can Frankie Bajada. The children participated
and sang all the hymns leading to the most special
moment as each child received the Holy Communion for the
first time.
The
children are Roselle Azzopardi, Manuela Bogdonovich,
Alison Bartolo, Jasmine Bonnici, Jessica Borg, Francesca
Bugeja, Maria Bugeja, Elvira Buttigieg, Lourdes
Buttigieg, Bernard Carabott, Martina Cardona, Matteo
Ciangura, Kylie Fenech, Brent Mario Grech, Maria Nicole
Grima, Kurt Grima, Neville Haber, Venera Muscat, Sam
Anthony Pace, Ryan Portelli, Alicia Said, Annabel Said,
Abigail Sultana, Maria Tabone, Yana Vella, Mary Lourdes
Vella, James Xuereb, Loretta Xuereb and Christopher
Zerafa.
First Communion is an important event in a Catholic
child's life, in which they are fully participating in
the Mass and, for the first time, receiving the Bread of
Life and the Cup of Salvation.
