ST REGIS MISSION
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION is a very important sacrament for every Catholic child, especially our Akwesasronon children and youth. First Communion is considered as one of the most important and holiest sacraments. It is in this holy sacrament that children are more aware of their faith. During First Holy Communion they are making a conscious journey in faith and love of Christ.
FIRST COMMUNION takes place during the early Catholic developmental years. It is a way for our Akwesasronon children to learn to live under the guidance of their beliefs which will further cement their Catholic faith in Christ, the Eucharist, and the Church for the future.
AT THE ST REGIS MISSION WE CELEBRATED FIRST COMMUNION ON MAY 19, 2024: We had twelve Akwesasronon candidates who received their First Communion. Our outstanding candidates were Dalton Cook, Heidi Cook and Knox Cook, Bennett David, Bronce King and Stylez King, Autumn Lazore, Sophie Roundpoint, Vaeda Thompson, and Jrake Whitecrow, Jraya Whitecrow and Jre Whitecrow.
NIAWEN:KOWA to all the parents, grandparents, family, friends and volunteers for the support provided in strengthening our Catholic faith to our First Holy Communion candidates. NIAWEN:KOWA also to our First Holy Communion Catechist Team: Connie Thompson Lead Catechist, Lucy Papineau Catechist Assistant, Verda Tarbel Classroom Assistant, Dr. Rose-Alma J.
