A Cherished Tradition: First Grade Rosaries
In second grade, students participate in a special sacrament, First Communion. Before this happens each May, our first graders gift their fellow second graders a unique, homemade rosary.
The tradition of making rosaries for our First Communicants has stood at TFS since its founding in 2000. It reminds us that we are a Catholic Franciscan school, where our faith is woven into everything we do. It is also a symbolic representation of how our community supports one another as each child grows. “This unique tradition is a service project that brings such joy to our close-knit community,” shares the second-grade team.
