1st Communion - the mass

13 of the 78 kids to receive for the first time attended this mass. Nikki knows most of the kids in this group since they are classmates. But a few are public school kids we don't know. I wish the 24 in her class could receive at the same mass since these kids are literally growing up together like family in this small school community. At least one of her very good friends, Kendall, received this day, too, and they even got to sit next to eachother.

Nikki brings up the bread - her favorite job!

The kids go up to receive one at a time with their parents.
