Luke's First Reconciliation

Luke is in 2nd grade which our priest back home would always say was the "Best Year of Your Life". That is because you get to receive two of the best sacraments for the first time...First Reconciliation and First Communion. On November 22nd, Luke celebrated his first Confession. It was a fantastic ceremony and Luke (and I ) were so excited for this day. My little boy is growing up! Here are some pictures from the ceremony at St. Brendan's Catholic Church here in San Francisco. Luke had a long reading part and did a great great job! The church was nicely decorated and their principle Mrs. Grewal gave a very nice speech before it started.

 Here Luke is standing in line to say his first confession.

 Here he is sitting with the priest for his Confession. Normally you would be in the confessional, but since there were so many kids they put one priest up by the altar.

And he is the "Clean" little boy eating at Tower Burger to celebrate! We LOVE you Luke and are so proud of you! Don't ever stop going to Jesus for help! He will ALWAYS forgive you no matter what!
