On Sunday, May 6th, 2007, eighty-two children from Medjugorje Parish received the sacrament of First Holy Communion. Their catechists, Sister Slavica Kozul, Sister Petra Bagaric and Sister Iva Bešlić prepared them for this sacrament of unity with the Eucharistic Jesus. The Solemn Mass was presided over by Fr. Boze Milic. The children’s' choir “Little Doves of Peace”, under the direction of Sister Slavica Kozul, embellished the celebration with their beautiful singing. Family members were present, together with pilgrims and visitors who had come to Medjugorje. In the prayers of the faithful, the children expressed their abandonment to Jesus. All of the children took part in the Offertory Procession. On this occasion, the Franciscan Sisters currently serving in Medjugorje made a flower decoration around the altar after the theme, „Come to the Living Source“.
On Saturday, May 5th, the children made their first Holy Confession. They were accompanied by their parents who also went for Confession.
