BRILLIANT sunshine lit up the glorious setting of the Church Of The Purification in Churchill on Saturday morning as families arrived for a special day.
Like last year, the Spa NS First Holy Communion day was delayed until September, but there was very much a summery feel to the occasion.
Fr Francis Nolan was the celebrant for the Mass and afterwards the boys and girls, now in third class, posed for photos with their families in the fine weather. Scroll down for photos…
