“Without JOY there is no love, and love without JOY is not true love. And so, we need to bring that love and that JOY into the World today.” ~Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
You’re invited!
I’m hosting a party
In honor of
Mary & all First Communicants
Well the closest I will get to a party for my dear Sparkles since I’m nine months pregnant and not willing to take on an additional celebration so close to the arrival of Baby “G.”
Share the JOY of your First Communicant. This can be a First Communion Post from this year or recent years past. It’s just a simple way to share your JOY and lift one another up in prayer.
My Sparkles will be receiving her First Communion on May 8.
You are welcome to join now!
The party starts on May 1, the Month of Mary. The party will end on June 8, the Traditional Feast Day of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces. This should give sufficient time for all new First Communicants to receive and share their JOY.
~~~UPDATE Jan. 2011~~~
This has been changed to a “Perpetual Party” and currently
does not have an end date. Join at anytime!
ALL FOR!

A lovely idea…Abigail made her First Holy Communion in October 2009. It’s nice to relive that special time and see the photos of other sweet children!
Kimberly –
Thanks for stopping by and sharing Abigail’s blessed day.
We will add her intentions to our prayers.

This is such a great idea! Unfortunately, my daughter was very ill on the day she was supposed to make her First Holy Communion, so we had to reschedule for June 13th. So we miss the cutoff for sharing our joy this year. But, if you do this another year, perhaps I can share her joy then. We are really looking forward to her special day!
Dear Lena,
I am doing a prepartation for our son but hwe won’t be receiving untill later in the year.
Can I link my plans at least
Blessings

Gae, Tina and others who are interested in joining after the deadline (June 8, 2010)- PLEASE SHARE ALL POSTS RELATED TO YOUR FIRST COMMUNION JOY. The deadline (if you want to call it that) has been moved to June 8, 2011. It is my hope to continue prayers and sharing JOY related to this blessed Sacrament for 2010.
