  Such a fabulous morning for a wonderful class of boys and girls who received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. 

   

  Congratulations to all the children who have worked extremely hard over the past few weeks preparing for their big day and for carrying out their duties superbly.

   

  Our sincere thanks to Fr McDermott for his spiritual support and for making the children feel so at ease during the ceremony; to Mrs McGuckin, Miss Barkley and Miss Doherty for preparing the children so well; to Miss McKenna and our school choir/instrumentalists for their musical liturgy which added greatly to this special occasion and to Mrs Mellon for all her work in preparing our Mass booklets and certificates for today. 

   

  We hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their day celebrating with friends and family.☀️
