First Holy Communion in St. Mary’s Altinure.

13th May 2023

Congratulations to the boys and girls who made their First Holy Communion this morning in St. Mary’s Church, Altinure.  Our wonderful Year Four children received the Sacrament of the Eucharist with grace and joy during a very special Mass.  It was great to see all the children read their readings and prayers, sing, play instruments and carry up the gifts with such reverence and confidence.  We are so very proud of you!  Our wonderful school choir sang beautifully and made the ceremony extra special. Afterwards, as the sun shone brightly, we were all treated to the ice cream van by Fr. McGavigan and tasty refreshments provided by the PTA in a lovely marquee. Thank you very much!

A special word of thanks to Fr. McGavigan for his visits, time, constant support and spiritual guidance, helping us prepare for this special day.  Thank you to Charlotte, our Faith Formation Coordinator, for all her help, wonderful ideas and visits to our classroom. A huge thank you to Mrs Boyle, the Primary Four teacher, who prepared the boys and girls so thoroughly and also taught the choir, and of course, a huge thank you to our P5, 6 & 7 pupils who sang beautifully in the choir! Thanks also to our Year 4 classroom assistant, Sophia for all her help. It was a very special morning indeed!

Thank you to our PTA members Cora, Shauna, Louise, Michelle and Katie for preparing and serving the refreshments and thanks to all the Daddies who helped set up the marquee!! 

Congratulations boys and girls! Have a wonderful day and God Bless. xxx
