Our First Holy Communion🙏

Congratulations to all our Year 4 children on receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist (First Holy Communion) today - Saturday, 3rd June, 2023, in St. Patrick’s Church, Eskra.

Many thanks to Canon McGahan for making the celebration so special and meaningful for everyone. A special Thank You to Miss. Devine and Mrs. McGarvey for preparing the pupils so well.

Thank you also to Mrs. Mullin, Mrs. Nuala Sweeny, Clídna McNamnee and Emer Cullinan (Year Seven) and our school choir for providing the beautiful music and singing which enhanced the ceremony. Thank you to Nuala Ward and to everyone who decorated the Church.

Today was a wonderful day of happiness and celebration. We are so proud of all the Year 4 boys and girls who worked so hard and prepared so well for this special day. All the children performed their roles brilliantly!
The chapel was adorned with the children’s beautiful art work and special displays showcasing their wonderful work.

All of the children conducted themselves so reverently and certainly did their parents, families, teachers and indeed our whole school and parish community proud.

A special Thank You to our Parents’ Association for preparing the hall and serving refreshments and to O’Hagan’s for providing the food. It was great to see the community gathered together celebrating this wonderful occasion.
We hope everyone had a fabulous day.

We have a little video clip here which show snapshots from a day the children will remember for the rest of their lives. 🥰
