KUDOS

Congratulations to Robert Fanciullo, B.S.A. who was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout during the Court of Honor held by Troop 132 at Holy Child on Sunday 22 April.

Our Troop has produced an extraordinary population of Eagle Scouts over the years due in no small measure to the constant involvement of the Scout Masters and the dedicated Scout Staff.

Holy Child takes pride and finds satisfaction in the development of its Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts fostered by the sterling leadership with which the Pack and Troop have been blessed.

Congratulations to the boys and girls of the Religious Education Program: 2nd Grade who approach the altar on Saturday 28 April and Saturday 5 May to receive their First Holy Communion.

They have been prepared for the initial reception of the Blessed Sacrament by their devoted teachers and assistants in Holy Child’s Religious Education Program, Marie Ferro, Director.

The children of Holy Child are blessed by their catechetical zeal governed by the Lord’s command,

“Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” LK 18:16

Father Travers
