KUALA LUMPUR : Twenty-four children from the Church of the Holy Rosary (HRC) received First Holy Communion during the month of October.

On Oct 18, 13 children received the Sacrament during the Eucharistic Celebration in Mandarin while 11 others received it during the English Eucharistic Celebration on Oct 25.

Msgr Daniel Lim, the parish priest, in his homily spoke about the Bread of Life where Jesus is truly present and the importance of making preparation before coming to Mass. He also commended parents for sending their children to the Sunday school and thanked the catechists for ensuring that the candidates were well prepared.

The children, dressed in white to signify purity, were presented with their certificates by Msgr Lim after Mass in Dewan John Hsiong, where a brunch fellowship was held for the candidates, their parents and teachers. — By Bernard Anthony
