Sacrament of the Eucharist

Sacraimint na hEocairiste

First Communion is celebrated when children are in Second Class. Preparation for First Communion is shared by the parish, the school and the family. In school children follow the Grow in Love Religious Education programme.

The parish preparation programme offers parents and family the opportunity to be involved in their children’s preparation.

A significant part of the programme will take place at Sunday masses during the year. Parents will be advised of the specific masses to attend with their children.
