Scoil Naomh Cualán

On Saturday 12th of September the girls and boys of third class finally made their First Holy Communion. It was a long awaited day, but it was one worth waiting for. The girls and boys looked fantastic in their beautiful dresses, suits and blazers. Every pupil read their part beautifully and were a credit to their teachers Mr. Kennedy, Mrs. Clohessy and Mrs. Slattery and indeed the whole school.

 

Scoil Naomh Cualán would like to thank Fr Hennessy for putting together such a beautiful ceremony and for helping to prepare the children for their big day. We would also like to thank Anna Bradshaw and Anne-Marie and Claire Kavanagh for the beautiful music that added so much to the ceremony. A big thank you to Noreen Ryan who had the church looking so well and the CE scheme men who put up the bunting and welcome banner in the church yard. And finally, thank you to Clare Ryan and Frances Kennedy who produced a lovely mass booklet that will be a memento for the children of their First Holy Communion day.
