The Holy Family Catholic Church at Willard (Clark Co., Wis.) was the scene of a very picturesque and beautiful sight when twelve of their children received their First Holy Communion on Sunday, June 29, 1952. Little girls taking part as angels and flower girls were dressed in white, pink and blue. Some were as angels and others carried red carnations.

The First Holy Communicants are: Mary Ann Staut, Marjorie Tolaney, Angeline Horvat, Kathleen Prebil, Beverly Trost, Beverly Boh, Pauline Kapfer, John W. Trunkel, Nicholas Lesar, Edward Pernic, Frank Meke, John Stremikis.

During summer school they were taught by Sister M. Agnes, O.S.F., and Sister M. Doloraze, O.S.F., of Lemont, Ill.
