First Holy Communion Next Weekend

I was under the weather over the weekend and didn't blog, but following the big eighth birthday series of events, now we're cranking up for Sarah's First Holy Communion next weekend. She'll be one of the kids carrying the altar cloth during the offertory, and has told us she's "nervous" about it. We're doing our best to assuage the nerves.

Her granddad and his friend Marge were going to come but the logistics got too complicated, so it will just be us and her godparents, Tom and Cindi Gallagher.

Tam and I have been gathering photos of other first commuions in the family: both of Sarah's grandmothers, and several pictures of mine. We can't find any of Tam's but we did find a rosary she got for first communion. Mine took place in 1954, it seems, so 54 years between the events. More on this as we get closer, and of course reports from the scene.
