Congratulations to our First Communion Class of 2022
Saturday last marked a very important day in our school year as we celebrated 1st Holy Communion in our parish, school and community. Fourteen pupils from our school received the sacrament in St. Bartholomew's Church in the company of their families and friends.
We thank Fr. Frank Kelleher for the lovely ceremony and his work with the children leading up to their special day. Mr. Flanagan, Ms. Cunningham , Ms. Reilly , Mrs. McElroy, Fiona and Geraldine helped to prepare the children for the sacrament and each child did their part so well on the day - thank you to all staff.
After the ceremony everybody was invited back to the school for a reception which was beautifully prepared by the parents of last year's holy communion class assisted by the parents association. A special presentation was made by the parents association to the teachers of the communion class.
In conclusion, our celebration on Saturday is an example of school, parish and community cooperation and we hope it was an enjoyable day for everybody.
