We, the Sisters of St. Benedict of Ferdinand, Indiana, are monastic women seeking God through the Benedictine tradition of community life, prayer, hospitality, and service to others. By our life and work, we commit ourselves to be a presence of peace as we join our sisters and brothers in the common search for God.

First Communion Enrollment
On Saturday night, 37 students became candidates for First Communion. They proudly received their White books after their names were called. Then, they and their parents attended a meeting. I always love First Communion preparation. It is one of my favorite parts of the job. They are genuinely excited and they really want Jesus to come into their hearts. Their joy and their love are infectious. And, their parents seem so haooy as well. The parents had all their questions answered and it was a great meeting! God is good, and I pray that these students will know and experience God's awesome love and grace as they get ready for this sacrament.

My daughter is also preparing for her first holy communion this year at another school. It is an exciting time for all of the family to get together. While doing some research for her, we stumbled upon a great resource for First Communion party supplies. I hope everyone enjoys their special day.
