First Holy Communion, May 2024

We were blessed with glorious weather on Sunday, May 19th, for the First Holy Communion of 20 children from Second Class. A huge thank you to Fr PJ for a lovely Mass, and to Clare Kavanagh and Helen Moore for all their work in preparing the children so well. Everything was beautiful!

We were delighted to welcome Bishop Denis Nulty to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to 27 children from Sixth Class on Friday, April 26th. Thank you to Fr Joe and Fr PJ for helping with their preparation throughout the year, and to Aishling Saunders and Mary Phelan for their work with the children in school. It was a lovely day of celebration and blessing.
