SUNSHINE greeted families arriving to Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church on Saturday morning for three separate First Holy Communion ceremonies.
The big day had finally arrived for second class pupils from Scoil Eoin Balloonagh and teachers Ms O’Sullivan and the two Ms Dalys (Siobhan and Triona) had them well prepared to receive the sacrament.
Fr Padraig Walsh was the celebrant on the day and thankfully the weather played ball so families could pose for photos before going off to enjoy private celebrations after the ceremonies. Scroll down for photos…
