This year’s First Holy Communion candidates took the next step of their journey at mass on Sunday 15th January.

Liturgy 4 in the programme focused on “Listening to the Word of God”. The children with their parents were invited to come forward at the beginning of mass where Father Kelly blessed the children’s ears to symbolise ” Hearing the Word of God”. The parents then made the sign of the cross on their child’s lips symbolising “Speaking the Word of God”. The children themselves then placed their hands on the open Lectionary promising to “Live the Word of God”.

The next preparation session will take place on Wednesday 8th February in the Church at 6pm with the “Rite of Election” the following Sunday 12th February at the 10.30 Mass.

Please keep the children, their parents and families in your prayers.
