This weekend 2nd Class should have been having a very special family celebration for their First Holy Communion.

As we’re all aware this won’t be happening as planned and I’m sure all the boys and girls as well as their families are disappointed that the big day has had to be postponed.

Hopefully we’ll be able to make up for this disappointment later on this year when regulations will allow the ceremony to go ahead.

This morning Msgr. Coonan celebrated a special Mass from his home for all the boys and girls in 2nd Class.  I know he has missed visiting the school over the past couple of months and meeting up with all the wonderful 2nd Class.

Bishop Denis Nulty recorded a message for all the boys and girls of our diocese who had been preparing for First Communion this year.  You can see it here.

As the weather looks good for the next few days, hopefully all the children will still get to enjoy the weekend.
