Recently, Risen Savior Catholic Preschool participated in its first-ever school Mass. Fr. Charles Ugochukwu, Pastor of Risen Savior Catholic Community, wished to hold Mass welcoming preschool students and their accompanying family. After showing excitement for Mass, preschool student Kenneth was asked why he was so excited, "because Jesus is in there!" he responded.
Although the students are not yet old enough to receive Holy Communion, they were eager to get in line to receive the "Jesus blessing," as they refer to it. The 2019-2020 preschool class listened attentively as Fr. Charles emphasized Christ's love for His children. They also sang songs, led by their preschool teachers and preschool director.
This first-ever school Mass was a special time for the students of Risen Savior. Having both their classmates and friends, alongside their family members, creating a sense of community that enhances the student's early development of faith.
