2022 ​First Reconciliation and First Eucharist 

Families who worship God together each Sunday create a sacred bond to God.   Through the Eucharist, the Communion of Saints, and the people at Mass become one body in Christ.

 This bond is made from God's love!  A love that is sacrificial, endless and deeper than any other kind of love that exists.   

Join St. Mary's Visitation community at Mass each Sunday to encounter Christ in the most intimate way possible this side of heaven.  Recharge for the days ahead knowing you've given your child the kind of happiness that is forever.
