Lauren's First Reconciliation
Saturday morning was a busy day for us, with Emily's basketball game and Lauren's First Reconciliation (or, as Mom and Dad knew it, "First Confession").
The church was pretty full because the CCD children also participated in this Sacrament with the five-day St. Mary's schoolchildren. There were seven priests in all to hear confessions and Lauren chose Fr. Stanley, a Columban Father who is a friend of the family. Also on hand to hear confessions was Fr. Dan Lenz, a Benedictine monk who knows Dad from way back to his summer at Camp St. John.
Afterwards, we enjoyed a nice cookies and punch reception in the chuch basement. Dad challenged Lauren's cousin, Maya, to eat 10 cookies for $1 and she managed to eat five before her mom stopped her.
