First Communions and Confirmations

This year we had the joy of seeing hundreds of children and teenagers receive the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation. Our sisters serve as directors of religious education (DRE's) and teach catechism in eight dioceses in this Province. We carry out this apostolate of teaching the faith both in parishes of the IVE as well as in diocesan parishes where we have been invited. May Our Blessed Mother protect all these young souls, and draw them ever closer to Her Son.
