Know of a child who was due to receive their First Holy Communion this year?

This Wednesday is the feast of Blessed Imelda, she is the Patroness of those who are due to receive their first Holy Communion.

Like many children in 2nd class during this time of the virus, Imelda was sad because she had to wait a long time to receive Jesus, in her case until she was 12 years old.

Here is a 6 minute video on her short life (she died at 11 years of age). The password is 'teacher' to view this excellent video from the website.

Here is a picture of her to colour also.
