The services will be very impressive. The class will be met at the parochial school by the little ones of the school; who carrying banner candles and flowers', will escort them to the church. Upon their arrival at the church they will at once proceed to the sanctuary where they solemnly renew their baptismal vows. At the conclusion of the vows,, the class will chant hymns in honor of their Holy Mother, the Church, and their Savior.
