The Best Day of my life.
Last term on the 9th August I celebrated my First Holy Communion with nineteen other children. We had it at our church at St Patrick’s.
Before the day we had lots of lessons with Father Andrew. They were on a Saturday afternoon in the church. After that we attended church. We did eight lessons and then Father said we were ready.
One day after school, aunty took me to Otahuhu to a big shop. We were going to look for something for me to wear. I saw heaps of good clothes that I could choose. Finally I found a black lavalava and a traditional Samoan shirt. I was so happy and excited to try them on.
On Communion Day I woke up very early because I had one more lesson to go to. I got dressed and went to the church. All my friends were there and we were chatting and laughing together.
During the service I felt very special and I think it will be a day I remember forever.
