“Do this in Memory” is
a programme uniquely designed for the preparation of children for the
Sacrament of First Holy Communion.
We in St. Mary’s Junior National School are pleased to implement “Do
this in Memory” in close collaboration and with the co-operation
of the parents of our pupils in 2nd Class.
Once a month, (see dates below), the children and their families are
invited to attend a Special 11.00am Sunday Mass where they play key roles
in the celebration of the Eucharist. The programme has proven to be a
marvellous success. Through participation, the parents and community
are actively involved, the children’s understanding of the Sacrament
is deepened and Holy Communion becomes a yearlong celebration rather
than a once off.
Along with Ms. Broderick, Ms. Collins, Betty & Fr. Tim, I
look forward to joining with you in the preparation of your children
for First Holy
Communion
