Preparations for First Communion on May 12th

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 22^nd April. 

Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to seeing you on the day!
