The pupils from three second classes at Scoil Eoin Balloonagh were there to receive First Holy Communion and there was great excitement as the posed for photos outside the church.
Fr Padraig Walsh was the celebrant for three separate ceremonies as pupils from the classes of Triona Daly, Mary Barrett 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…
