THE weather gods were truly smiling once again on Tralee schoolchildren for a very special occasion on Saturday.
The pupils from three second classes at Scoil Eoin Balloonagh made their way in the sunshine to Our Lady and St Brendan’s Church to receive First Holy Communion.
Fr Padraig Walsh — assisted by Deacon Sean Murphy — was the celebrant for three separate ceremonies as pupils from the classes of Triona Daly, Nora O’Sullivan and Siobhan Daly received the sacrament.
It was a lovely occasion for all the families who no doubt enjoyed the celebrations afterwards. Scroll down for photos…
