First Holy Communion at Infant Mary Church Bajjodi

It was a Joyous moment for the14 little angels of Infant Mary Parish as they welcomed our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts for the first time. After having waited eagerly for this memorable day they received Jesus with utmost love and devotion on the 25th of July 2021 in the presence of the parish clergy, parents and well-wishers.

The Eucharistic celebration was led by Fr. Richard Saldanha and concelebrated by Parish Priest Fr. Ivan Dsouza, Fr. Patrick Lobo, Fr. Rayan Pinto and Fr. Reevan Cutinha. Fr. Richard Saldanha preached an inspiring homily. The Church choir facilitated the congregation to take active part in the liturgy through their melodious singing.  The whole liturgy was beautifully conducted by the First Holy Communicants. They renewed their Baptismal promises and the joy of receiving Jesus into their lives was evident in their cherubic smiles.

Towards the end of the mass,  Rev. Fr. Ivan Dsouza thanked the teachers for catechising the first communicants and all those present for this special occasion. All children who received the First Holy Communion were presented with the Scapular, Rosary and a Certificate. 

We congratulate the 14 angels of our parish for successfully achieving another religious milestone in their journey of faith.
