Well done to our First Holy Communion girls, they were absolutely fantastic! We are very proud of them. We hope the girls and their families had a wonderful time celebrating their special day on Saturday, 17th May, 2025.
Special thanks to everyone who helped them to prepare, especially their parents, their teachers, Ms. Doyle, Ms McSherry and their SNA, Ms Macken, our parish priests, Rev. Lane and V. Rev. Canon Leamy and the Servant Sisters.
Thanks also to our amazing choir for providing such beautiful music and song for the ceremony. It made the ceremony all the more special.
Our Parents Council very kindly provided refreshments following the mass. These were a welcome treat. The refreshments were very generously provided by parents/guardians of our First Class girls.
Finally, thank you to those that helped in any way. We cannot forget those who read prayers, brought up the gifts, prepared the church for our Holy Communion, the sacristans, the alter servers and flower arrangers.
