Lenten Flower Arrangements

During the period of Lent, we use mainly leaves with a little bit of purple statice. 

We withhold the delight expressed by colourful flowers until Easter comes, except for the 4th Sunday of Lent, when the Gospel is about having joy for the returned son.

First Communion Banners

A First Communion banner is a special family project in which the children of the First Communion Classes have the opportunity to work with their parents to create a visual sign of what First Communion means to them as well as the ways in which they experience God’s love.  These banners will be displayed in the church on the day of the First Communion Masses and will remain in the Church for one week thereafter.  

Each child is required to have a banner with his or her first and last name displayed on it, along with any of the many symbols of the Eucharist or God’s love for us.  Banners must be completed and brought to class on or before Sunday April 14th, 2013.

Instructions and banner kits will be available for purchase from the CCD office during CCD classes for a fee of $80HK through March 3rd.  Exact change would be much appreciated!  BANNERS must be submitted to the teachers on or before Sunday, April 22nd. Once again, thank you for your cooperation.
