First Holy Communion at Infant Mary Church Bajjodi

Ten angels of the parish welcomed our Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ into their hearts for the first time, with utmost love and devotion on the 22nd of November 2020, in the presence of the parish clergy, parents and well-wishers after having waited eagerly for this memorable day to become one with Jesus.

The Eucharistic celebration was led by Fr. Rovel Dsouza and concelebrated by Parish Priest Fr. Ivan Dsouza, Companion Priest Fr. Patrick Lobo, Fr. Rayan Pinto and 6 other guest priests. Fr. Rayan Pinto preached an inspiring homily. The Church choir facilitated the congregation to take active part in the liturgy through their melodious singing. The whole liturgy was conducted by children receiving First Holy Communion. The joy of welcoming Jesus into their lives and renewing their Baptismal promises was evident in the cherubic smiles of the children. Towards the end of the Mass, Rev. Fr. Ivan Dsouza thanked the teachers for catechising the first communicants. He also thanked all those present for this special occasion. All children who received the First Holy Communion were presented with the Scapular, Rosary and New Testament.

We congratulate the ten angels of our parish for successfully achieving another religious milestone in their journey of faith.
