Update on First Holy Communion

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The joint PPC of Kilkerley and Knockbridge met this evening.  After discussion and consultation with the PPC, Fr Gerry and Fr Brian are proposing that the celebration of the sacrament of First Holy Communion be brought forward to Friday 25th September in order to eliminate the uncertainty around a move to level 3 restrictions, which would result in Saturdays celebrations being cancelled.

Fr Brian has agreed to offer the options of holding the ceremony at 11am on Friday or alternatively at 2pm on Friday.  Please consider which option would best suit your family.  Ciara will be in contact with each family tomorrow morning, and we will proceed with the choice of the majority.  

We appreciate that this short notice will impact on your plans for Saturday.  However, we feel that it is a better option for the children than the likelihood of the ceremony being deferred again.  We appreciate your understanding and support in making this decision.

Le dea ghuí,

Donna Kirby
Principal
