Thank you to all the parents who kindly contributed delicious home baking and helped out at today’s celebration as we honoured the boys and girls of 2nd Class on their First Holy Communion day. Your generosity helped create a wonderful selection of sweet treats for everyone to enjoy.

A sincere thank you to and also to Lidl Mallow for their generous donations to the party, your support is very much appreciated.

Special thanks also to Valerie Gardiner for the beautiful communion cake, which was amazing as always!

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion today. We hope you have a wonderful rest of your special day!
