Communion Class of 2016

Congratulations to second class who made their First Holy Communion on the 15th May. Our school mass for the Communion children was celebrated on Wednesday by Fr. Hannon and was led by second class under the guidance of their class teacher, Mrs. Prendergast.

This was a wonderful occasion and a very special mass for the children, each of whom had a special job to do on the day.

Second class pose happily in their communion finery!!
