A few parents have contacted me regarding plans for First Holy Communion.  While there are no settled details, it does not seem possible that Holy Communion will be able to be celebrated as originally scheduled.  As of now, we will not even be returning to school until April 20th and, even so, this in-person contact may need to be extended and/or limits on the size of gatherings may continue to be restricted and/or extended.  For this reason, there are no definite details at this time for First Holy Communion.  To make plans, we would need to begin to hear and see "the light at the end of the tunnel."

It would be wise to alert family and friends that rescheduling for First Holy Communion appears to be necessary.  If anyone has tickets or plans to purchase plane tickets for travel, advise them that changes will need to be made but not for the very near future.

I know this is disconcerting but what is more vital is that this crisis be resolved and that all those we love and the entire world community might be safe from mortal harm.  Let's earnestly pray for this greater concern, for someone to be inspired with an antidote/cure, for needed patience, hope and forbearance. 

May God keep everyone in His embrace!
