Again, I am little behind on the blogging, but two weeks ago, Joseph celebrated his first communion at Our Lady of Seven Sorrows church in Suzhou. We were very proud of him and also Kathleen who taught the class with assistance from her friend Paige.
Kathleen and Paige have been holding a weekly preparation class for the kids to take them through the lessons of the sacraments of reconcilliation and communions and preparing them for this big day in the life of a Catholic child.
Two weeks prior to the big day, Kathleen got the surprising news that Bishop Joseph, our regular priest for the English language mass, was going to be out of town on the day of first communion and would be sending a non-English-speaking priest as a stand-in. Bishop Joseph suggested that Kathleen prepare a homily to give on that day. While this added some stress to the event, Kathleen wrote a wonderful homily and delivered it with poise to an appreciative audience on Sunday.
Above you can see the handsome Cazzato boys in their custom made suits and dragon ties, Kathleen giving the homily, Kathleen and Paige with the group of fresh communists, and the Cazzato family all decked out for the occassion.
