On the beautiful Sunday morning of May 3rd, 2015, Father Joe Fogal and Deacon Chris Orlowski officiated at First Communion at St Peter and Paul. First communicants were Frank Flicek, Molly Grobe, Taylor Hofschulte,
Caleb Kurtti, Craig Kurtti, Tory(TJ)Magnuson, Jack Meincke and Sawyer Sheridan. Their Catechist teacher this year was Teresa Post who did a wonderful job preparing the children for this holy occasion.
First Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Catholic person's life. A child's first communion is a cause for celebration, but the event has a deeper meaning. We believe that
the event means that a child has studied and understood, to the best of his or her ability, what Catholics call the mystery of transubstantiation — the changing of the substance of ordinary bread and wine into the substance of Jesus Christ's body and blood, according to our Catholic beliefs.
Congratulations to all of our First communicants!

There was lots of excitement after Palm Sunday service. The annual Easter egg hunt for St. Peter and Paul was on! The weather did not allow the event to be held outside, but the kids were just as happy hunting for eggs in the church hall. Thank you to the confirmation kids who helped hide the eggs! pictures and text by Pati Liffrig
