Dear Parents/Guardians, In response to the ongoing situation around the Coronavirus pandemic, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin yesterday issued the following statement regarding this year's First Holy Communion, "We can only begin to speak of timetables for these Sacraments (in the case of this parish it is in respect of the First Holy Communions) when it will be possible once again to hold large gatherings of people, especially children and this is unlikely for some months." Many thanks for your understanding on this matter. As soon as there are any further updates you will be notified immediately. Regards, John Moore
