Please pray for the 39 children making their First Holy Communion next Sunday. 28 of the children will be making their First Holy Communion at the 11.00am Mass, the rest at an extra Mass at 1.30pm. Undoubtedly, the 11.00am Mass will be extremely busy so I would be very grateful if you would kindly consider attending Mass either on Saturday evening at 6.00pm or on Sunday at 9.00am. You can also attend the extra Mass at 1.30pm on Sunday. Many thanks for your cooperation, Father Gerard
