COMMUNION … St. Mary Parish in Edgerton was filled with joy on April 12 as young parishioners received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. Dressed in their finest attire, the children processed into church with excitement and a sense of wonder, marking a sacred milestone in their journey of faith. Family members, parishioners, and friends gathered to witness the beautiful liturgy, which was centered on the profound gift of the Eucharist. The church was beautifully decorated for the Easter season. St. Mary Parish extends heartfelt congratulations to all the First Communicants and their families. The parish community rejoices with them and prays that this special day will be the first of many moments of deep encounter with Christ in the Eucharist.
