The priest appears to be very happy every Sunday at the number of people attending the English-language Mass. Our group consists of 8 people, and that makes up about half the congregation! We are quite happy that they offer an English-language Mass!
After church, the priest came over and asked me how old Sophia is. He said that she is probably nearing her time for First Communion. We discussed it a bit; I said that in the States, next year would be the year, and he seemed to agree. However, he said that when we were ready, one of the sisters would give her classes, and then we would invite the bishop and have a formal ceremony. How nice! Of course, this is what they do in the States, but I wasn't sure--with Sophia being just one--that they would do anything. To be privately tutored by a nun is definitely good.
