Fr. Boland has informed us that he will meet with our pupils/ staff (socially distanced) in school next week and then on another day soon, he will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (First Confession) with our current Year 5 children in school ahead of First Holy Communion. Dates yet to be confirmed. The Reconciliation short service will be a little celebration for our pupils, their new year 5 teachers and our Parish Priest.
First Holy Communion Masses for our current Year 5 Pupils will be as follows:
Year 5 A (Mrs Gormley’s Class) : Saturday 19th September @11am in the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Year 5 B (Mrs Connolly’s Class) : Saturday 26th September @11am in the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Year 5 C (Mrs O’Kane’s Class) : Saturday 26th September @2pm in the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Some Points to Note:
1. Each child for Holy Communion will sit at the end of the seat facing the altar. Their family members (up to a maximum of 8) will sit with them in the seat in the middle aisle with the First Holy Communicant.
2. Seats will be organised in alphabetical order. Each seat will have each family name on it. (Similar to the organisation of Confirmation).
3. Adults should wear face coverings at the mass (as per guidance). Children should not wear face coverings.
4. There will be no processions to the altar this year for safety reasons.
5. Fr Boland has organised that one official photographer will in the church on the day as parents will be asked to remain in their seats during the mass. Parents can take as many photographs as they wish outside the church.
We eagerly await our little pupils First Holy Communion Mass and look forward to a special day shared with family.
Although long awaited, we are so excited to celebrate the First Holy Communion of our children.
God bless you all.
