First Holy Communion Parents & Children – The Programme called “Do this in Memory†encourages parents, families, Parish with teachers to become more actively involved in the Sacramental journey as the children prepare for First Holy Communion.
The Programme highlights the importance of the Sunday Mass. It also acknowledges the ‘Home’ as the most important and significant place, where the faith of our children is nurtured, nourished and sustained. A Special Mass will take place every month.
I invite all the children of the schools, their parents and families with the First Holy Communion class, to our Special Masses.
