Prayer Partner for our First Communicants at St. John Nepomucene

Prayer can be a beautiful gift. Are you looking for an opportunity to support someone on their spiritual journey through prayer? If so, being a prayer partner for a child preparing for the Sacrament of First Communion at St. John Nepomucene this spring might be just what you are looking for!

We have 67 students anxiously preparing to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, and a prayer partner to help them spiritually on their journey is so very important.

If you are interested, please provide your name, address, phone number and email address to Kelly in our Faith Development Office at kufi@stjn.org or call (920) 788-9033. She will then pair you with a child (add a name if you would like a specific child).

This is a great opportunity to share with your older children as you pray together for a First Communicant. Thank you so much for your consideration, may God bless you!
