After many weeks of preparation the little ones eagerly awaited and joyfully welcomed the dawn of the happiest day of their childhood. The maaa was-sung by St. Mary's mixed choir. Monaignor Nix delivered a very appropriate sermon, telling the children of the great privilege they were about to enjoy and urging them always to prepare their hearts in the best possible manner for the reception of their Savior, Jesus Christ, in Holy Communion. After mass the children enjoyed a light breakfast at school, after which they went to Mr. Worwick's studio to have their picture taken.

After this renewal the children were enrolled in the confraternity of the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which was followed by Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The Benediction and songs for the afternoon were sung by the First I Communicants.
