FIRST HOLY COMMUNION PREPARATION
We continue to welcome in a particular way the children of our Parish who are preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion for the first time later this year. Our focus this month is on the Sacrament of Reconciliation which all members of our Parish family are invited to celebrate, particularly during Lent. Pope Francis urges us to “be courageous and go to confession.” He tells us, “Jesus will be there, and he will receive you with so much love!”
Reminder to all parents/guardians of children for First Holy Communion of the Diocesan webinar on next Wednesday night (26th) at 7.30p.m. Guest speaker Patricia Kiernan. Details and registration on www.dioceseofkerry.ie
