The early Christian church introduced the custom
to imitate the humility and selfless love of Jesus,
who washed the feet
of the Twelve Apostles
at the Last Supper,
the night before his Crucifixion.
On Holy Thursday at Mass
the children that will be receiving their First Holy Communion
on April 28, 2024,
all had their feet washed.
The foot washing ceremony is an important call for all people that they too should be willing to serve others.
