First Holy Communion Final Arrangements

A reminder for the parents of the children making their First Holy Communion on Saturday, 5^th of June 2021.

We ask that children arrive at the Parish Centre, no later than 30 minutes before the start of the Service. Children only, will be permitted into the Parish Centre where they will have individual photographs taken. They will then process from the Centre to the Church (weather permitting). Parents should make their way to the Church and to their allocated family pew, which will be clearly labelled.

When receiving the Eucharist, the children will approach the Altar individually then return to their seats.

Family members will receive the Eucharist after the final blessing then exit the church following the one way system. In doing so we ask that you adhere strictly to the guidance and maintain 2M distance at all times.

Families will not be able to return to the Church for photographs as cleaning and preparations will be underway for the next Mass.

As the restrictions continue, sadly we will not be able to follow traditions and have a celebratory tea in the hall this year. Children are free to leave after the Mass.

Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding. We look forward to working together to make it a memorable day for all.

P5 Enjoying some Outdoor Learning

P5 ventured outside this afternoon to explore our garden which has become very overgrown. We started doing a wee bit of weeding (very hard work!) and then used the microscopes to get up close to nature.
