GROWING and MATURING in the FAITH…
Today we congratulate those that receive Holy Communion as a
beginning of a new life in Christ! They have experienced the
Mystery of Penance by making their first Sacramental
Confession yesterday. Today they receive Jesus in Holy
Communion. From now on they have accepted a great
responsibility to live a full Christian life by receiving Christ often
in Holy Communion, but also by preparing themselves well to
receive as worthily as possible. This includes prayer, fasting
and also regular Confession. They have reached a time in
their lives where they are able to know in their minds and
hearts when they need to reconcile themselves with our
Lord when they have fallen short of living by the grace of
God. Or more correctly, when they can at least start to take
some more responsibility for their own spiritual lives.
When they received the Sacraments of Baptism and
Chrismation (which we also call Confirmation), their Godparents and Parents accepted a great deal of
that responsibility upon themselves. Those who made their first Confession yesterday also receive Holy
Communion today - confirming their readiness to be more responsible for their life in the Church. They
still need guidance for many years (as we all do to one degree or another throughout our lives in
Christ), but today they have achieved a degree of maturity in their Faith that will grow every day.
Today let us renew our own dedication to our Ukrainian Catholic faith… renew our understanding of the
amazing Mystery of Confession, the Sacrament of our Lord’s mercy and love… and especially let us
renew our rightful appreciation for the awesome Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. May we take the
example of our children today, who are determined to receive our Lord in Holy Communion often, but
worthily… by recalling what we are doing… by never taking it for granted… by preparing well by prayer,
fasting and by regularly making a prepared and sincere Confession.
God bless the Holy Communicants today as well as their Families and their
Teachers!

GOD'S CREATURES RECOGNIZE WHAT WE SOMETIMES FORGET...
“On the evening of the last day of his October 1995 visit to the United States, John Paul II
was scheduled to greet the seminarians at Saint Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore. It had
been a very full day that began with a Mass at Oriole Park in Camden Yards, a
parade through downtown streets, a visit to the Basilica of the Assumption, the first
cathedral in the country, lunch at a local soup kitchen run by Catholic Charities; a
prayer service at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in North Baltimore; and finally
a quick stop at Saint Mary’s Seminary.
The schedule was tight so the plan was simply to greet the seminarians while they
stood outside on the steps. But the Pope made his way
through their ranks and into the building. His plan was
to first make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament. When his
wishes were made known, security flew into action.
They swept the building paying close attention to the
chapel where the Pope would be praying. For this purpose highly trained
dogs were used to detect any person who might be present.
The dogs are trained to locate survivors in collapsed buildings after
earthquakes and other disasters. These highly intelligent and eager dogs
quickly went through the halls, offices and classrooms and were then sent to
the chapel. They went up and down the aisle, past the pews and finally into
the side chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved.
Upon reaching the tabernacle, the dogs sniffed, whined, pointed, and refused to leave, their
attention riveted on the tabernacle, until called by their handlers. They were convinced that they
discovered someone there.
We Catholics know they were right — they discovered a real, living Person in the tabernacle!”

Thank you to all the teachers for a terrific year!
COLF was jointly founded by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) and the Knights of Columbus to build a civilization of
love by promoting respect for human life and human dignity and the essential role of the family. This is accomplished by promoting
the teaching of the Catholic Church on respect for human life and the inherent dignity of the human person, supporting and
strengthening the fundamental role of the family in society, and promoting the Church’s teaching on natural family planning.
