On the 23rd of April , 23 boys and girls made their First Holy Communion.
We had such a lovely service in the church followed by a wonderful party in the Community Centre.
A massive thanks must be given to the parents of both First Classes.
The amount of effort and baked treats certainly did not go unnoticed.
