The season of First Communions

These second-graders from Sacred Heart Church in Monroe gather outside the church after First Communion Mass last Saturday. They were the last of the parish’s four groups, over a two-week period, to celebrate this sacrament. Second-graders from St. Patrick’s Church in Highland Mills also received their First Communion last Saturday as did second-graders from St. Anastasia Church in Harriman. St. Patrick’s and St. Anastasia will host their second First Communion Masses tomorrow. Photo courtesy of Jennifer Pasquariello
