Liturgy 7 in preparation for First Holy Communion “In Memory of Me” was completed during mass on Sunday. The children and their parents were invited to come forward after the gospel of The Good Shepherd.

Father Kelly asked the catechists if they considered the children to be ready to receive First Holy Communion and then asked the children if they were ready to become members of the body of Christ and a sheep of his flock through Holy Communion.

The children were all given a small crucifix encased in a sheep to mark the occasion.

Many thanks to the kind person who made the sheep.

The Children’s First Holy Communion will be celebrated on 8th May 2016.
