Congratulations to the Second Grade First Communion Children!
Congratulations to all the Second Grade children of South Boston Catholic Academy and the Religious Education Program who received the Holy Eucharist for the first time on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at Gate of Heaven Church. The Celebrants at this Mass were Father Robert Casey, Pastor, Father Tom Olson, Parochial Vicar, Monsignor Liam Bergin, Abbot Mark Cooper, OSB, Abbot of St. Anselm Abbey in New Hampshire and Deacon Patrick Nolan, SJ.
Thank you to the Second Grade teachers from South Boston Catholic Academy, Mrs. Lisa Soegaard and Alex Galli, and the Religious Education Program, Mrs. Joan Dixon and her Assistant, Ms. Catherine Lee, who worked tirelessly to prepare the children for this Sacrament. Special thanks to Mrs. Nancy Carr, Principal of South Boston Catholic Academy and Mr. Jim Fowkes, Director of the Religious Education Program for the work they do throughout the year to ensure that everyone is ready for this Sacrament and to Mr. and Mrs. Hoy for helping the children with the wonderful music. God Bless all these wonderful Second Graders!
On Sunday, May 6, 2018 we celebrated Masses of Thanksgiving; May Procession and Crowning of our Blessed Mother Mary at the 10:30 Family Mass at St. Brigid Church. The Communion children came dressed in their First Holy Communion attire and a Second Grader was chosen to crown our Bless Mother Mary with a crown of beautiful flowers following this Mass.
Following the crowning of our Blessed Mother Mary, everyone was welcomed back to Cushing Hall to celebrate Sister Evelyn Hurley’s, SCN 103rd Birthday, during the 1000 Club event. Happy Birthday and Congratulations to Sister Evelyn! God Bless you always.
