Dear parents,

In school as we are begin preparing your children for their Sacrament of First Holy Communion, St Anthony’s Parish Church also runs a program to support the children and their parents.

The first “Do This in Memory Mass” for P4s and their families will be this Sunday 29th Sep at 12noon in St Anthony's Church.

Parents should attend to enrol their child for the programme. There is a resource booklet to help teach children about the importance of this sacrament.

The school has kindly agreed to cover the cost of £6 for this booklet.

We look forward to seeing you at this mass and enrolment.
