Greetings,
Today we are announcing the dates for First Eucharist for your children!!!  It feels good to finally be able to set dates and prepare to celebrate the sacrament with your children!
As you may have noted the use of the term “dates.”  Yes, there will be two masses to choose from.
Sunday, July 12, 2020 – 2:30p.m. at Corpus Christi Church
Sunday, July 19, 2020 – 2:30p.m. at Corpus Christi Church
*We ask that First Communicants and their families arrive no early than 2:00pm
We are asking that parents utilize the following Sign Up Genius link to choose which Mass your child will be attending.  Due to COVID-19 protocol, which includes use of social distancing measures, each family is allowed up to eight family members.  That eight includes the First Communicant and parents.
Sign Up for Mass and let us know how many will be attending via this link:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0545abaa28a20-first
Items to know as we prepare:
*we will not hold a retreat as was previously scheduled
*there will be no professional pictures this year
*we are having special masks made for the First Communicants – they’ll receive these at the Mass
* each First Communicant parent needs to contact Msgr McCoy or Fr. Feller to set up a time for their child to celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation prior to their reception of First Eucharist – please call the office at 515-955-6077
*please help prepare your child on how to receive the Eucharist, including the cup even though they will not receive the cup that day.  Here is a quick video to review  https://youtu.be/qdGkTdv4Dt4   Please note that due to COVID-19, we ask that everyone receive via the hands vs. via tongue.  Also know that we’ll be working on an additional video made your children’s teachers/catechists to help review.
