🪻April is Autism Awareness Month. Charlie is so excited to make his First Holy Communion ✝️on May 2nd, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” 🕊️
Psalm 139: 13-14.
💜💚We are so thankful to the SPRED Catechists who live by their Catholic faith and choose to include, dedicating their time and commitment to our children.

God Bless Charlie and his friends as they received the Sacrament of Reconciliation at our SPRED mass. 💒 Your support made this possible for our St Cajetan SPRED group. We are so blessed to have their SPRED family and amazing Catechists who of course understood all the accommodations for this evening to be a success! Next stop, Holy Communion! 😇

Meet Tony!

To know Tony is to know happiness.

He is 9 years old and loves experiencing life through his imagination. He loves Super Mario and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Looking up facts about characters, drawing new characters from his imagination and jumping on his trampoline are his favorite hobbies. Tony has the kindest heart, along with brutal honesty whether you want to hear it or not .😁

His big brother’s friends along with children of our parish have formed a special bond with Tony that is heartwarming to watch. We are so lucky to have Ball and Oats playing in honor of Tony!
