Congratulations to our First Communicants upon making their First Holy Communion on 10th and 17th May. Both days were beautiful and the celebrations were uplifting, spiritual and memorable events. Sincere thanks to Mr Kerr, all the teachers and parents, and all those in the parish who supported the children as they prepared for their special day. We continue to pray for our First Communicants that Jesus will always have a special place in their lives.
Thanksgiving Prayer Service and Party for First Communicants will take place this afternoon, Sunday, at 3pm.
