Preparation Programme for First Communion
This Monday, October 24th, we begin the parish programme of preparation towards the celebration of First Communion with boys and girls now in 2nd class and their parents, who in recent weeks registered their intentions to prepare. There will be a meeting for all the children and parents in the Church at 7pm (Monday) at which the children are formally enrolled followed by an outline of the planned parish programme. The programme we use in known as the “ Do This in Memory Programme”, consisting of a monthly Mass and newsletter. As in previous years the resource material for the programme will be available in the parish, at a cost of €20 per participating family.
The first Mass with the children and their parents will be on next Sunday at 10.30am. A team of parents will be formed this week to lead the programme.

Enrolment of Children for First Communion and Confirmation
We invited parents of children attending
non-Catholic Schools to enrol children with the
parish on Thurs or Friday Sept 8th/9th last, if they
wished that they prepare to receive the sacraments.
There may be families, living in the parish
who wish that their child, attending a non-faith school,
might be helped to prepare to receive the sacraments.
They, too, were invited to register on Sept 8th or 9th.
We are still accepting a late application.
If living outside the parish we refer you to your own
parish when a child is attending a non-faith school.
