Congratulations to all the children and their families who received First Holy Communion over the last 2 weekends. We have so many children celebrating their First Holy Communion that we decided to do this over two weekends. Both occasions were wonderful celebrations and although you could see the children were nervous and excited beforehand they all enjoyed receiving the sacrament.

This was the first time we were able to celebrate the sacrament in our new church and, thanks to the fantastic singing from our school choir and musicians and the hard work put in by teachers and catechists, the celebration was an uplifting and spiritual occasion that will be memorable for many.

The parish wishes to thank everyone involve in preparing the children for receiving the sacrament and those who helped make the masses so memorable. So catechists, parents, choir, musicians and teachers a big thanks and well done to you all!

Some parents have emailed some photo’s for our parish photo archive which are listed below. If you would like you photo’s to be placed in the archive please email them to [email protected].
