Anna writes about Erin in her journal

This is what Anna wrote in her First Communion Faith Journal about her sister Erin:

My sister, Erin, is the most influential person in my life. She is my best friend and I want to act and be just like her. She shows me how to behave in church and school, how to treat others with kindness, and how to be a good student in spelling and math. Someday, I hope to join the drama club and be an altar server just like my sissy. I hope we’ll always be close as sisters and friends. ~ Anna Liggett, writing in her Spirit Journal

The 44 students in Anna's First Communion Class of 2007 received First Eucharist in both forms at a 10 a.m. Mass on Saturday, May 5, in St. Paul's Catholic Church. Father Ralph Thomas and Deacon Frank Lonteen distributed communion.

Grandmother Mary Ann Gabelman joined Anna and Erin, Tom and Sue and Baba and Grandad for a celebration lunch after Mass at the Olive Garden restaurant in Montrose.

On Sunday, after the 11 a.m. Mass, the Communion Class took part in a May Crowning and Procession to the Marian Shrine south of the church.

This photo of the sisters was taken on Sunday at the church.
