First Holy Communion Ceremony at Don Bosco Shrine, Lingarajapuram

80 children received first Holy Communion at Don Bosco Shrine Lingarajapuram on Sunday,

during a concelebrated Mass presided over by Fr. Aloysius Santiago SDB the Parish Priest and Rector.

In his introduction quoting Pope Francis he said First Holy Communion was a Celebration of encounter, communion and Friendship.

He said it was the identity card of a Christian because the greatest celebrity was coming into our lives as guest of honour to remain with us till the end of times.

We receive the glorified body of Christ in the form of bread and wine in which Jesus cannot be seen, touched or smelt.

He urged the children to thank Jesus and also tell Jesus their own needs, needs of their family and others. He told them to be faithful to Jesus by being blessings to others and also by spreading joy, peace and friendship with all those they come in contact with in their daily life.
