Pastor’s Corner ~ the Sacrament of First Communion:

in spiritual life: forgiveness and gratitude. Jesus forgave Julio Alvarado Marie Mendoza
the sinful woman who in return anointed Jesus’ feet with Cedric Camuro Michaela Mendoza

symbolic of her love and service to the Lord. David, too, Michael Espitia, Jr. Kianna Pine
acknowledged his sins in the first reading today and Leandro Gueco Johnathon Prins
