First Reconciliation/Communion Church Tour 2020     On November 17, Julia Rudden, Director of Sacramental Preparation, along with second-grade teachers, Mrs. Kuypers and Mrs. Oines, hosted a virtual tour of the church for students in the First Holy Communion class.  You don’t have to be part of the class to take the tour.  It is full of interesting information about our church, and Ms. Rudden is a wonderful tour guide.  The students greatly enjoyed the tour – you will too!
