THE weather smiled on the pupils of Holy Family and Moyderwell primary schools on Saturday morning as they celebrated their First Holy Communion.
The Moyderwell pupils received the sacrament in St John’s while Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church played host to the Holy Family children.
Principal of Holy Family, Ed O’Brien paid tribute to the 25 pupils of Miss Shanahan’s second class who made their first communion.
“Well done to them. They’ve made today a solemn and special occasion and I wish them every happiness for the future,” said Mr O’Brien.
After both ceremonies, families walked out into the sunshine to pose for photos.
