The 1st Holy Communion

wohoo... Patrick 1st holy communion was done 1 month plus ago.. but I still want to share it here... let start with the after the confession... Patrick was asked to come to church for rehearsal 2 days before the actual day...  On the rehearsal day, there  was  full mass rehearsal.. from the procession, 1st reading, 2nd reading, and even gospel reading, collection and the offering.. which Patrick was one of the bearer.. he was doing the wine and water.. which me and his father so worried of.. ( cox b4 the teacher asked him to do the offertory only.. simple and easy ).. the father said that we do not want it happened... huhuhuhu... on the rehearsal so many incident happen... they have to do it twice all over again... On the actual day, the Mass was children Mass ,so all the things mentioned was done by the children...

On 14 November, we were asked to bring our kid to the chapel b4 6.15am.. me and Paul was asked to help to buy curry puff for the fellowship after the mass.. woke up at 5 am, wearing his white trouser white long sleeve... we go to Pasar Besar KK to pick the ordered curry puff and arrive church exactly 6.15am... at the chapel the boys was asked to wear red bow tie and Corsage, the girls to wear the veil and Corsage.. I saw others was helping their children... and my Patrick... eh... hilang...and heard somebody calling his name hoe ping! hoe ping!  and saw him was helped by his Sunday school teacher, the teacher is so patient with Patrick through the year in her class, and so fond of him... ei.. I do nothing ni, jealous jua la.. hee hee :P:P... then we take picture in front of the chapel and all the Parent were asked to go inside the church... Every Sunday, we used to sit at the left side of the church entrance, but this time we were asked to sit at the right side... cox the Boys is sitting at the right side and the girl at the left side... and all the family member asked to seat behind them... me and Paul was not used to the seat... macam org yg biasa pakai tangan kanan then kena suruh pakai tangan kiri ni.... hee hee... The Mass begin... everything going well... then the time of offering.. m still worried cox this time Patrick is bearing the real thing wine and water ( me n his father keep asked him to practice at home... using glasses... haa haa... takut pecah bah.. adui.... )... but he doing it steady and safe... fuh!.. ni mama betul2 x confident with his son Ooooo... then, is the receiving bread and wine time ( they asked to taste the bread and wine on the sunday class, cox last year, one of the kid nearly spit out the body of Christ cox not used to the taste of wine.. ).. we busy taking picture although we asked not to cox the church have their own cameraman/ woman... and Patrick turn.. he return to his place and pray... me and his father tahan2 lah air mata... finally our son receiving his 1st holy communion..( if you read my previous post , Patrick used to asked me what is the taste of the bread... and I asked him to wait until his turn... and here we are... ).. after the Mass end... all the children taking group picture with the Coadjutor Archbishop in front the altar.. then went to the Parish Hall for the Certificate giving and fellowship... all the 62 children was treated with KFC, and the parent was eating cake, sandwiches, curry puff... etc... all this was sponsored by the parents as well...
