Celebrating First Penance and Holy Eucharist in our parishes

Toms River, NJ

Rev Ivan Turyk: “This is indeed a happy occasion for our parish community, school and for the children’s families. Even in the midst of the pandemic, our parish Catechists and Assumption Catholic School religion instructors were able to have in-person instruction for our communicants. That is quite a tribute to them, students and parents! Thank you for helping to prepare our children for the greatest gift they will ever receive. We can only hope and pray that their parents will provide the opportunities for their children to continue to receive the Holy Eucharist at weekly Liturgy”.

Rev Volodymyr Popyk: “On Sunday, May 19, 2021 the St Stephen Ukrainian Catholic Church in Toms River, NJ celebrated First Holy Confession and Holy Communion of Nikol Kapusniak. Our congratulations to Nikol and her family”.
