Dear Parent and Carers,

First Communion Preparation Classes

First Holy Communions will take place this year on the weekend of 16th/17th June. If your child is ready to receive this sacrament (year 3 or above) then please add their name to the list at the back of the Church or write their name and contact details on a piece of paper headed ‘First Holy Communions’ and post it through the Presbytery door. Preparation Classes will be starting at the end of March after 10 am Mass on Sunday mornings. Classes will be just 3/4 hour long and two sessions for parents will also be included at the beginning and end of the preparation period. Further details will follow once numbers have been finalised.
