First Holy Communion
for 2012 takes place on Saturday May 12th at 10.00am and 11.30am in St Annes Church. This post is a summary of a letter sent to Second Class Parents - the full letter and the relevant booking form can be down loaded here.
To celebrate this wonderful occasion
the Parents Association host a small breakfast in the School Hall for the
children and their families, directly after each Mass. This consists of a
sit-down party for the communion children, a goody bag for the brothers/sisters
and a welcome cup of tea/biscuits/sandwiches for the adults. There is a small charge of €15 per family to cover the
costs.
The boys wear a white cotton robe
over their own clothes for the Mass - the cost of hiring this is €12 (hiring/ dry
cleaning costs). You will be provided with details of collection times etc.
nearer the day.
As cameras and video cameras are NOT ALLOWED in the church during the Mass, we have hired a professional
photographer to record each Mass as follows:
1. The arrival of
the children at the main door of the Church;
2. The entire
First Communion ceremony;
3. The children
outside the Church after the ceremony.
This is a great keepsake for the
children as they grow up. The cost of the DVD is €19.
There is a lot
for us to organise on the day, therefore we would appreciate your co-operation
in completing the attached Booking Form
and returning it in the envelope provided with the correct amount of money on
or before Friday 22nd April.
Thank you for your assistance, and
we look forward to seeing you on the day!
