The Church is Your Home!
When you come to church, we want you to know that you and your family are welcome here. This is your parish home! You are not a guest or a visitor, you are a part of our family!
Please watch this video with your child as we take a tour with
Fr. Patrick of Ste Anne's Parish.

Can you remember what Fr. Patrick showed us in the tour of the church? Do you remember what these iteams are? Do you remember what they are used for?
Hint: Make this review fun and see who can remember first, your child vs you (or an older sibling).

There is a Children's Missal booklet that is in your First Communion Material Package.
If you want, you can re-watch the video and follow along as Fr Patrick does the church tour. If you get stuck identifying any of these items, your book might have some clues!
Lost the book or want a digital copy?

Your 1st Communion!
WHAT TO EXPECT & WHAT TO BRING:
You and your guests should arrive at the church at least 20 minutes before Mass so that everyone can be screened and seated.
Everyone over the age of 2 must wear a face covering. Our hospitality team will ask: Have you been outside of the country? Have you been exposed to anyone with COVID 19?
Your child should wear what you consider to be dress clothes or your "Sunday best". Most boys wear dress pants with a shirt and tie or a suit. Girls usually wear white. It is entirely up to you what you choose. It is not necessary to go to any great expense.

Prayers to Practice Everyday

OUR FATHER
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our tresspasses.
As we forgive those who tresspass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
AMEN.

HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death.
AMEN.

My Jesus,
