At chapels of the SSPX throughout the United States during the month of May, a host of children approached the altar rail for their first time to receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
This was the delightful culmination of months of catechetical and spiritual preparation. It also include the first use of the Sacrament of Penance when the children made their first confession thereby completely cleansing their souls of any sin and purifying their hearts and minds for the reception of their Beloved Savior in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Here we present a collage of First Communion images from various chapels. May these children always keep their souls pure and ready for the reception of their Eucharistic Lord.
