Dear Parents and Carers,
These are the dates for the Sacramental Programme 2024 – 2025 which will enable those who complete the Programme to receive Holy Communion for the first time just before Easter 2025 and therefore they will be able to celebrate the great Feast of Easter fully by coming to Mass and receiving Holy Communion.
