Congratulations to the children receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion tonight.  Sacraments are opportunities to encounter God, and we pray that this special celebration supports and inspires these young people to live the Lumen Christi Parish Vision of 'being the light of Christ to all people'. 

The image below is a painting by Seiger Koder.  Fr.Koder was a German Priest and secondary school art teacher.  His art depicts his interpretation of how he saw his priestly duties to respond to the message of the Gospel.  In this painting of the Last Supper the character of Jesus is absent however the viewer is placed in a position of Jesus with our outstretched hands and reflection in the chalice prompting us to be more Christ-like.  We pray for our communion children as they have this opportunity to be reminded about being the Light of Christ.
