Sunday: The children who were confirmed recently will celebrate their First Holy Communion during the 10.00 a.m. Mass. Seats will be reserved in the centre for the children and their immediate families. Refreshments will be served in the Hall afterwards to which you are all welcome.

Many congratulation to the children following on their Confirmation. They were a great credit to their families and themselves. Many thanks to all who helped them prepare especially the teachers in the school and to all who made the ceremony so prayerful – the music group, the servers, Passkeepers and all who provided the refreshments in the Hall afterwards.

Next Saturday/Sunday: If you wish any petitions taken to Lourdes on the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage there will be a box into which they can be put. They should be in a sealed envelope with ‘Lourdes Petitions’ written on it. Please do not put money into the envelope.
