IT was a day of celebration for the children of two schools on Saturday when pupils of CBS Primary School and Derryquay NS celebrated their First Holy Communion.
St John’s Church was a hive of activity as the CBS youngsters received the sacrament with proud parents and family members looking on.
Over in St Brendan’s Church in Curraheen the scene was much quieter with just five boys and two girls celebrating the special day.
Nevertheless there was great excitement after in the church grounds as they posed for photos to remember the momentous day.
