with the boys to offer their support.

On Thursday Fr Matt and Fr Liam were back with us to lead our May procession and the crowning of
Our Lady in the Grotto. Following a short service in the school hall the pupils and staff processed
to the Grotto where Maria Cabral placed the floral crown on Our Lady.

The First Holy Communion was a great success last Sunday; all of the pupils who took part did
so with great reverence and respect. The support from family and friends was very impressive, it
was lovely to see the church so full for such a community event, thank you all for supporting
your child throughout their journey of sacramental preparation. Many thanks to Mrs Townsend
for all that she did in preparing the children so well and organising the day itself. The work
involved in sacramental preparation is quite significant and was done with great commitment
over the months. Thanks must also go to Frs Matt and Liam for sharing this special day with the
pupils and their families.
