Dear Parents,
We are delighted that you have chosen to put your child forward for the Sacraments of First Confession and Holy Communion in 2024.
In their religion classes the children will receive the necessary religious instruction.
You as parents are the prime educators of your child and as such have an important part to play in preparing them for the Sacraments.
You should show an interest in their school religion program and discuss it with them from time to time. You should also encourage and support personal prayer, praying with them regularly.
Attendance at Sunday Mass is an essential component of our faith journey and we encourage you to attend the special ‘Family Mass’ each Sunday at 10:30 am in St. Mary’s with your child.
Roses don’t grow in the desert, and faith does not grow unless nourished by regular prayer and practice.
We are asking each family to contribute €20 towards the running of the parish. Like any organisation we have running expenses incurred in providing the church where the sacraments are celebrated.
If however this request causes a difficulty, please email Fr. Philip – in complete confidence. Money is never an obstacle.
