This morning our P4 class celebrated the Sacrament of First Holy Communion at a wonderful ceremony in the Sacred Heart Church led by Canon Fleck and co-celebrated by trainee Deacon James Uhomoibhi.

The boys and girls were excellently prepared and they participated wholeheartedly in the service with song, readings and prayer.

Gratitude is extended to P4 teacher Mr Doyle for guiding the class through this latest instalment in their spiritual journey. We also acknowledge the contribution of our classroom assistants Michelle Poland, Tom Boden, Orla Quinn and Kathleen Milligan for their sterling efforts.

To the school choir, under the direction of Mr Doyle and accompanied by Eva McAlea, we thank you for your superb input to the occasion along with Annette Kelly.

We also recognise the efforts of our school staff for hosting a lovely occasion back in the school hall in which all those in attendance got the opportunity to celebrate in unison.

We hope the boys and girls enjoy the rest of their big day!
