First Holy Communion 2014
On Sunday, 11th May, a group of 18 beautifully dressed girls and
18 handsome CBC boys gathered to receive their First Holy
Communion at St. Dominic’s Parish in Boksburg.
We thank Fr. Tony dearly for all his extra input and preparation of
the girls, as well as, Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Weber, Miss Rindfleisch,
Mrs. Vollmer and Sr. Lynda for all their love and guidance. This
was a very special day for our girls and their families, and we
pray that God will guide and bless each one of them.
The St Dominic’s First Communicants will each receive their cer-
tificates at our Ascension Day and Blanket Mass on Thursday,
