Parish News and Announcements  

Our prayers and congratulations are with the children who made their First Holy Communion yesterday morning at St Godric’s.



Our prayers and congratulations are with the children who made their First Holy Communion this morning at St Joseph's.



Preparations are underway for this year's First Holy Communicants. An information meeting, led by Katie Flood, will take place on Thursday 27th January to give parents a greater understanding of the Sacrament of the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Colm is then celebrating a talkthrough Mass on Sunday 6th February to further develop the children’s understanding of the Mass. We ask you to keep the children and their families in your prayers.
