Message from the Parish:
The children will leave the church one pew at a time, from front to back, following the altar servers as they walk to the back of the church. The children will then go out to the front step of the Cathedral where they will await the Archbishop and parents who can take photos of the children with the Archbishop, as a group. The children can then come back into the Cathedral if the parents wish to take photos of them in front of the altar with their sponsors. However if the children and their sponsors arrive early enough, the parents may wish to take photos of the children in front of the altar before the ceremony while it is quieter.
Since the children will be photographed as a group, we will not be seating the children on a school basis. As in other years, we will seat the readers and gift-bearers together in one of the front pews.
Please be at the Cathedral with your sponsors between 9:15 and 9:30.
See you soon!
